Highlights of El Hierro Walk - December 2025
El Hierro, the most remote of the Canary Islands, offers a walking journey unlike any other. This eight-day trip leads experienced explorers through volcanic landscapes, lush pastures, and pine forests, revealing a side of Spain few ever see. Begin in Valverde, where you can acclimate with short local walks, then traverse the island’s central plateau, descend into the lush El Golfo valley, and ascend dramatic escarpments with spectacular ocean views.
Along the way, discover time-honored traditions, taste local cheeses and wines, and explore sites of cultural significance. From the far west’s rugged coastlines to the cultivated terraces of banana and pineapple, each day unveils a new facet of island life. Accommodations range from simple hostels to comfortable hotels, all with convenient dining options and half-board included.
What sets this tour apart is its variety—no two days are the same—and the genuine hospitality of the Herrenos. For travelers who relish unspoiled nature and authentic experiences, this walking trip is a rare gem.
