Excursions in El Hierro
June 20, 2012Tamaduste, on the northern part
of El Hierro Island has a very beautiful and attractive natural
basin. It has crystalline water and a few activities can be enjoyed
from here. Monacal on the other hand has huge natural basins near the
coastline and it also has luxuriant vegetation. Another great
attraction that you will find here is an old settlement that has
stone houses and straw roofs. It is pozo de las Calcosas and is
definitely worth admiring on your journey.
Mirador de la Pena
is a wonderful viewpoint and you will easily enjoy the fantastic
panorama especially on the western part of El Hierro. Other great
views can be got from Tinor the small village located to the interior
of the amazing tableland. Another interesting place in the island is
La Frontera which is a village that is literally cut away from the
rest of the island’s area by high mountains. The best things which
can be enjoyed here are fruits and wine. The wines are particularly
excellent and the quesadillas and smoked cheese simply delicious.
Also worth checking out on your El Hierro journey is El
Pinar, a white village that is very charming and has thick woods for
its surroundings. The climate here is mild and there are also very
fertile grounds. You will find the nearby mountain Montana de
Tanajara very impressive and you can enjoy wonderful views from here
over the landscapes of volcano to the south as well as the
centralized woods within El Hierro. The sunsets from this village are
simply romantic.
Malpaso is the island’s highest elevation
and from where you can enjoy great panorama. The woods on this part
are untouched and provide a perfect ground for adventure and
exploration. Sabinosa spa to the west is deemed to be the most
beautiful of all villages here and it is at a strategic place over
the sea. The traditional styled whitewashed houses that are typical
make the villages here very impressive.
El Sabinal forest
still here in El Hierro is amusing with the bent trees as a result of
the strong winds experienced here. There is also La resting to the
south which is most ideal for fishers and divers thanks to the
crystalline water. The ambience on this part of the island is
authentic making it worth stopping at and enjoying during your
journey through the island. El Hierro can be a wonderful place fit
