エルイエロの天然記念物・トップ20

A very nice seawater pool that is easily accessible

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.

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!

Definitely my favorite place on the island. Easy and adapted access for disabled people. Tacorón beach is fantastic for snorkeling and diving, it has a lifeguard service and a small beach bar. The natural pool is very calm and numerous fish can be found on its rocky, shallow bottom. For good swimmers, I recommend getting out of the pool and exploring the entire coast. Towards the right you can swim to the devil's cave. Towards the left you can visit several coves by swimming, reaching the area where female sunray sharks approach to give birth. Be careful with the buoys as they are the mooring points for the boats that take divers to do their dives; and, of course, with the waves that although the sea of calm does justice to its name, it also sometimes rises.

Flying on the southernmost island of the Canary archipelago is wonderful because it offers great conditions for it. The trade winds, the orientation of the terrain and the possibility of taking off at different heights make learning and acrobatics possible. In fact, the island has been holding a famous international paragliding rally for 20 years that attracts pilots from all over. Paragliding over the El Golfo Valley The best-known flight of El Hierro, that of the El Golfo Valley, has different heights at the summit of Dos Hermanas (Frontera). Both in the takeoff of 1,200 meters and in those of 1,000, 800 and 600 meters, there are thermoslope conditions that allow you to fly for hours and thus contemplate a spectacular landscape that begins at the Arenas Blancas beach and ends at the Salmor rocks. . The landing point is in Frontera, next to the bus station.

Although it is a volcano, Malpaso has been dormant for many years. The island of El Hierro, in general, is known for its volcanic activity, the most recent being the underwater eruption near La Restinga in 2011. There are several routes leading to the top, offering stunning views of the island and, on clear days, the neighboring islands. The area around Malpaso is rich in flora and fauna, including endemic species and laurel forests, a type of subtropical humid forest that is rare and protected. From the top, you can get panoramic views of the entire island, including the coastline and the Atlantic Ocean. On clear days, you can see the neighboring islands of La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife.

https://www.meridianosau.es/centros/ecomuseo-de-guinea-2/ Located in the Gulf Valley, at the foot of the Risco de Tibataje, it is today an Ecomuseum. The guided route through its houses shows us the evolution since it began to be inhabited and the evolution of the homes with their belongings since the 19th century. XVII to the 20th century. Each of these homes is a sample of Popular Herreña Architecture, where stone and top notch are the basis of homes that, together with their traditional crops, today represent a monument to the History of the Island. Also in this location, but as an independent visit, you can visit the Guinea Volcanic Tube, where you will learn more about the geology of El Hierro. Visits to this cave, always guided, occur at the same time as the Ecomuseum route, and tickets are purchased at the Center's box office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX3t4xrcLbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLVwAbyBYRk
