Discover El Hierro, a true paradise.
Set out from the pier towards the Gorona del Viento viewpoint and stop here for photos.
Just north of El Pinar, at the Mirador de las Playas, clear skies afford an impressive view of the entire bay from an elevation of 3,280 feet.
Visit the village of El Pinar on the southern border of a large conifer forest. The village inhabitants are mostly farmers and livestock breeders. You'll have time to buy a coffee here (at your own expense).
Learn about the 100-million-year geological history of El Hierro as you view volcanic formations from the coach.
At the fishing village of La Restinga, enjoy a delicious local lunch with some traditional wine.
On the way back to the pier, you'll stop for photos at the Mirador de Jinama and Mirador de La Peña viewpoints, both designed by famous Lanzarote-born artist César Manrique.
Snap some more photos at the Mirador de las Pernadas before returning to the pier.
