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. |
