INFORMATION ABOUT EL HIERRO
Your route might start off in the village of Isora, thanks to your rental car. You will reach it driving along the coastal road HI-2 and TF-911from the airport. It takes around 28 minutes to cover the 20 kilometers between these points. The Biosphere Reserve Interpretation Centre located in Isora is a key place to help you discover the main features of the island, and that is why this is the best place to start our itinerary.
Once you have finished the visit to the Centre, continue to travel to some other places of interest in the island, such as El Julan Cultural Park, the volcanic Cueva de Guinea, the Geological Interpretation Centre, el Golfo (The Gulf), la Frontera (The Border), Valverde, San Andrés, el Mirador de las Playas (The Beaches’ Viewpoint).
El Mirador de las Playas is found 1,000 metres over sea level. This geographical feature is made of a bite-shaped gravitational landfall that shows the continuous transformation of the island. Departing from Isora, you can go to Taibique driving along the HI-401, and enjoy some of the best and most impressive views on the island.
Continue your tour towards Taibique, driving for 5 kilometres more along the HI-4.Then, stop there to taste some of the island specialties. Its cuisine is quite simple, having cheese as its main ingredient in many recipes. Some of the dishes you should order are dulce herreño, caldo de queso (cheese soup), mojo de queso (mojo with cheese), gofio (roasted corn meal) and potajes (vegetable stew).
The village of San Andrés is located approximately in the centre of el Hierro. As it is situated on a plateau, the climate is different from that of the rest of the island. Its rural atmosphere is perfect for those looking for some rest. Cheese was previously mentioned as a key ingredient. That is because cattle rising are the main activity among the population.
