Canary Islands - El Hierro (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
It’s impossible not to be entranced by El Hierro’s slow pace and simple style; by its craggy coast, where waves hurl themselves against lava-sculpted rock; by its flower meadows and eerily beautiful juniper groves; and by its volcanic badland moonscapes.
Coverage includes: Valverde, El Mocanal, Echedo, Tamaduste & La Caleta, Puerto de la Estaca & Las Playas, Mirador de la Peña, San Andrés & around, Isora, El Pinar, Hoya del Morcillo & around, La Restinga, El Golfo, Las Puntas, La Maceta & Charco Los Sargos, Tigaday, La Frontera, Los Llanillos & Sabinosa, La Dehesa, Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Reyes and El Sabinar.
Things to do
- stroll among the towering pines in the pristine El Pinar forest
- tackle the Camino de Jinama, one of the island’s best downhill walks, for vast views of El Golfo and the Atlantic
- walk among juniper trees sculpted by the wind into eerie, gnome-like shapes at El Sabinar
