In El Hierro
Isolate yourself on this timeless piece of volcanic land, ahead of its time thanks to its eco-responsible philosophy
When you think of the Canary Islands, the first impression that comes to mind is probably that of a seaside holiday and winter mass tourism. This is the case in some islands however others offer very beautiful landscapes and ways of life. Like El Hierro, for example – a mixture of rurality and modern technology gives this island a very special character.
