El Hierro

El Hierro is the smallest and most remote of the seven main Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco and Western Sahara. It is part of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. El Hierro is a rugged volcanic island, with a total area of just 268 square kilometers. It has a population of around 10,000, making it the least populous of the Canary Islands.

The island is known for its diverse and unique flora and fauna, as well as its dramatic volcanic landscapes. Its highest point, El Roque de Bonanza, is 1,501 meters above sea level. El Hierro is also home to a number of protected areas, including the Los Ajaches Nature Reserve and the El Julan Nature Reserve.

The island has a long and rich history, dating back to the Phoenicians who settled here in the 8th century BC. Later, the Romans and the Moors both occupied El Hierro, and it was colonized by the Spanish in the 15th century. During the 19th century, El Hierro experienced an economic boom, due in large part to its strategic location in the Atlantic.

Today, El Hierro is a popular tourist destination, known for its stunning landscapes, unspoiled nature, and unique culture. Visitors to the island can explore its volcanic landscapes, relax on its beaches, and enjoy its traditional cuisine. The island is also home to a number of annual festivals, such as the Festival de la Canción de El Hierro and the Festival de la Tradición Canaria.
