El Hierro

Resorts
El Hierro, nicknamed Isla del Meridiano (the "Meridian Island"), is the smallest and farthest south and west of the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa.
In 2000, El Hierro was designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, with 60% of its territory protected to preserve its natural and cultural diversity.
El Hierro is an island where the stark volcanic landscape, impenetrable cliff-lined shores and location in the middle of the Atlantic make it both literally and figuratively remote. It’s the westernmost island of the peninsula, and was considered the end of the world until Columbus famously sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
Those who go to El Hierro want to escape the crowds (the biggest town has less than 2000 residents), get away from traffic (the island’s first traffic light, which controls entry into a one-lane tunnel, was put up in 2005) and rest in the silence of the island’s natural spaces.
