El Hierro is the smallest and most westerly of the Canary Isles with an area of 278 km². It has successfully retained its quaint rural charm - a far cry from mass tourism. In a tiny space, volcanic elemental forces created a bizarre natural landscape, which could not be more contradictory in terms of its countryside and climate. El Hierro is a paradise for hikers, fans of mountain biking, diving enthusiasts and nature lovers wishing to discover this breathtakingly beautiful island for themselves. Visitors who are happy to be away from sandy beaches and holiday entertainment will find peace and quiet and untouched nature on this island recently designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
