バルベルデ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The chapel of the island's patron saint. She is said to have provided rainwater during droughts.

At 1,230 m above sea level, it offers one of the most spectacular views of El Hierro: El Golfo Bay, the north coast, and a tapestry of vineyards, pineapple and banana trees. It has parking, a rest area, and picnic tables, perfect for enjoying the natural beauty. Next to the Hermitage of Our Lady of Charity, it is also the starting point of the historic Jinama Trail and routes such as the Volcano Trail, which invite you to explore volcanic landscapes and unique corners of the island.

Emblematic hermitage

Nice, quiet place. Good starting point for some hikes.

Visit the Mirador early or start the tour, for example to the Mirador de la Peña, early, as the Canarian fog rolls in at midday. For us it was 11am and within a few minutes the visibility was not only impaired, it was gone! The view is fantastic!

A hermitage was built near the Caracol, which houses the image and the shepherds on cold and humid nights. On Monday, April 25, 1577, the first mass was celebrated and sung in the Sanctuary of El Hierro, the current Insular Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Kings. Since then, an annual festival has been celebrated in honor of the Virgin of the Kings on April 25, a festival that continues to be celebrated to this day under the name of the Festival of the Shepherds.

The building is a jewel designed by César Manrique, the great Canarian architect who dedicated his life to creating organic spaces. At La Peña, Manrique used numerous plants, large windows and masonry ceilings to create a welcoming and fresh atmosphere. Inside, visitors can enjoy the exclusive Mirador de La Peña Restaurant, with its extensive menu of Canarian dishes made with products such as tropical pineapple and the excellent fresh fish produced by this island, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The cliffs of this enormous indentation, 15 kilometers wide and one and a half kilometers high, are covered with dense native vegetation. At its foot lies a volcanic plain with vineyards and fruit trees that ends in the blue Atlantic. From La Peña you can also see the virgin Roques de Salmor, sanctuary of endemic giant lizards.
