It is a small village of old cave-houses. Some of them can be visited. It is an amazing and beautiful place.

In 1546 a ship heading towards America passed by Punta de la Orchilla, on the southern island of El Hierro. Later, when the sailors wanted to set course for the Americas, the ship could not leave the Sea of Calms, sailing in a circle incessantly for several days. Finally, on January 6, the food on board had run out and they had to approach land to ask for food. The shepherds of El Hierro provided them with provisions for the difficult journey.
