El Hierro is the smallest and westernmost of the Canary Islands — and a hidden gem for those looking to escape mass tourism. In 2000, UNESCO declared the entire island a biosphere reserve, and since 2014, El Hierro has been almost entirely powered by renewable energy (wind and water) as the first island in the world. There are no hotel complexes, no promenades, and no souvenir shops — just pure, unspoiled nature.
The landscape is of extreme diversity: In the west, the El-Golfo valley drops 1,500 meters to the sea in a massive cliff — the result of a prehistoric landslide. The Sabinar forest, with its bizarrely twisted juniper trees shaped by the wind, is a landmark of the island. In the center, the misty forest of El Brezal surprises with moss-covered laurel trees, while the coast offers black lava beaches and natural seawater pools (Charcos).
El Hierro is a world-class diving paradise: The marine reserve Mar de las Calmas on the south coast offers crystal-clear visibility (up to 50 meters), encounters with manta rays, whale sharks, and giant groupers. The lighthouse Faro de Orchilla marked the westernmost point of the known world until the discovery of America — the prime meridian of antiquity. The island has only 11,000 inhabitants, a few hundred tourist beds, and a pace that forces you to slow down. The local cuisine is based on Quesadillas (sweet fresh cheese flatbreads), fresh fish, and the rare Vino de El Hierro.
