Local guide | Islas24

El Tamaduste is a natural pool set into a coastal village in the municipality of Valverde, in the north-east of El Hierro. The inlet forms a sheet of clear, sheltered water that is good for swimming, and at its far end opens the so-called boat cave, tied to the island's oral tradition. The village has for generations been the summer place of the herreños themselves, and it remains one of the liveliest bathing spots in the municipality.

cottageRural houses

Casa Rural Poblado Jirdana I

Poblado Jirdana brings together two houses within a traditional Herreño architectural group more than 170 years old, in the small village of Isora on the central plateau of El Hierro. The restoration followed the advice of the old master stone and timber craftsmen still living on the island, using local stone, old wood from demolition, reused roof tiles, rainwater collection and solar heated water.

beach_accessBeaches

Playa de Timijiraque

Beach of dark sand and rounded pebbles in the municipality of Valverde, right next to Puerto de la Estaca, which makes it the first beach most people see when they reach El Hierro by ferry. It is one of the widest sandy stretches on the island, and traces of old salt pans survive nearby. Wind and swell turn up often, which is why surfers keep coming back. Watch the water for a few minutes before going in and take the current seriously.
