One of the island's biggest attractions is diving. It has nearly fifty dive sites where you can explore a unique and lively underwater landscape. El Hierro has a large variety of landscapes, despite being the smallest of the Canary Islands. One of the most characteristic landscapes is in El Sabinar, where the junipers twisted by the force of the trade winds will make you feel as if you’re in an enchanted forest.
El Hierro shares one of Paradores' commitments: sustainability. It’s the first island to be self-sufficient in renewable energy sources.
If you prefer hiking, El Hierro offers an enormous number of trails through desert areas, forests, volcanoes, cliffs and plains. Many of them pass by some of the viewpoints with the best panoramic views of the island. After your hike, have a dip in one of the spectacular natural pools, such as Charco Azul.
You can also take the opportunity to visit the three municipalities in El Hierro: Valverde, Frontera and El Pinar. And you could finish your trip by discovering every corner of the island from the sky. El Hierro is a favourite destination for paragliders due to the trade winds and mild temperatures all year round.
