Parador El Hierro
El Hierro – "La isla chiquita" – the little island at the edge of the world. This is the least visited and most peaceful of the seven main islands. Its mountains drip from the almost continual clouds that cover them – thus providing precious irrigation water for the rural and largely agricultural lands and villages below. Valverde is the islands quaint inland capital. It rests in misty, introspective serenity.

The Parador El Hierro is located right next to the sea, opposite the Roque de Bonanza, in a serene and isolated setting where the sea and mountains meet. Each room of the Parador has a beautiful balcony – perfect for sitting and relaxing while contemplating the beauty of the surroundings. This is the ideal place for rest and tranquility.
Parador El Hierro has an elegant, colonial interior, a fascinating garden, and a swimming pool for those not caring to swim in the sea. In this ideal setting, the guest is comforted by the cheerful, suggestive dishes of the Parador’s restaurant. The ‘caldo de queso herreño’ (poultry and cheese soup), ‘alfonsiños con burgados’ [fish with bigaros (periwinkles)], ‘quenafas de viejas’ (fish rissoles) with limpet and sea urchin sauce and the fig biscuit stand out.
From the El Hierro airport it about a 15 km drive to the Parador.
Valverde is the small inland capital city (pop. 1800) and well worth a few hours of leisurely strolling around and taking in the peaceful ambience. Buses leave at midday from the bus station for the other villages on the island.
