El Hierro

The smallest, quietest Canary island: diving reserve, natural rock pools and juniper trees bent by the wind.

El Hierro is the island at the edge of the old world, a UNESCO biosphere reserve with barely ten thousand people. The marine reserve off La Restinga is one of the best places to dive in Europe, the lava coast has natural swimming pools instead of beaches, and the juniper trees of El Sabinar are bent almost flat by the wind. Frontera lies in the great bay of El Golfo.
