<p>Emergency services helped around 500 people leave their homes, said the mayor of Tazacorte, Juan Miguel Rodríguez.</p>
<p>A total of around 7,500 people have been forced to flee since Cumbre Vieja began erupting more than a month ago.</p>
<p>Scientists say the eruption could go on for three months.</p>
<p>The tension of not knowing whether the slow-moving molten rock would entomb their homes, farmland and businesses is taking a toll on local people, Mr Rodriguez said.</p>
<p>“There is already a certain degree of despondency and desperation, waiting for the volcano to subside,” he said.</p>

<p>Though most of the island of 85,000 people off north-west Africa is unaffected by the eruption, part of the western side has seen the lava ruin livelihoods and destroy homes.</p>
<p>The molten rock has covered more than 2,100 acres and crushed or damaged around 2,185 buildings.</p>
<p>The volcano’s constant roar and numerous earthquakes have also kept locals on edge.</p>
<p>The National Geographical Institute counted 38 quakes since midnight, the strongest recording a magnitude of 4.3.</p>

<p>The economy of La Palma, part of Spain’s Canary Islands, is based mainly from tourism and banana plantations. The Spanish government has pledged millions to help rebuild damaged infrastructure.</p>
