The choice of the best areas to stay in El Hierro is not very wide. This is due to two reasons: the first is that tourists often visit the island in a day, without staying overnight. The second reason is that El Hierro has wanted to remain barren and natural, without being overrun by tourist facilities, as has happened to the other islands of the archipelago.
For the most part, the accommodations to be found are small hotels, independent flats near the seaside resorts and rural houses inland. If you are an adventurous traveller who wants to get in touch with this land, don’t miss the chance to stay in a rural house away from the coastal resorts.
The beautiful harbour of La Restinga is popular not only with those seeking a relaxing holiday, but also with deep-sea fishing enthusiasts. La Restinga is a quiet area, often chosen by families travelling with children. There is no shortage of facilities with high service standards, as well as restaurants, bars and shops.
The town of La Restinga is also popular with water sports and scuba diving enthusiasts; there are many diving centres here.
Located northeast of El Hierro, Valverde is the social, administrative and religious centre of the island. If you are interested in discovering El Hierro’s past, you are in the right place. The streets of the old centre of Valverde hide valuable historical monuments, such as the church of Santa María de la Concepción, built in the 18th century.
If you decide to stay here, you can also opt for a beach life, thanks to the natural pools of Tamaduste, which are not far away.
La Frontera is a municipality in the northwest of the island, comprising the villages of El Golfo and Sabinosa. It has gained importance as it has become the economic force behind fruit exports. Along the coast of El Golfo are several natural pools adapted to the beneficial effects of bathing.
If you are looking for quiet beaches for children, this is not the place to stay, as the sea areas are often not easily accessible. If, however, you are looking for a holiday more in touch with nature, consider that you will find many picnic and barbecue areas here.
