| The almost untouched beauty of El Hierro, its
surprising landscapes and the meticulous care of the overall environment
taken by its people, unique and warm in character, make this the ideal spot
for the thousands who arrive each year in search of peace and tranquillity.
El Hierro is the smallest island of the entire archipelago. Its 278 km2
offer a terrain of great diversity: from the fascinating volcanic formations
in the south and west, passing through the dense pine and laurel forests
of the central zone up into the northwest to fertile land of the El Golfo
Valley with vineyards and plantations.
On this little island born of a volcano, clocks lose their purpose. As
you breathe in its tranquillity, you begin to abandon yourself
to the earth’s force which is evident in this whimsical
theatre of twisted lava. Here, anything is possible: bathe
in a hillside salt pond, contemplate the multicoloured capital,
Valverde, or travel back millennia through the archaeology
of El Tagoror.
