Parador Hotel El Hierro

This Parador is located right by the sea opposite the Roque de Bonanza, where the sea and the volcanic mountains meet. This island was thought, for many centuries, as the westernmost boundary of the world.

This modern building, dotted with beautiful balconies, has an elegant, colonial interior ideal for rest and tranquillity.

The parador garden has an abundance of dragon trees, coconut palms and other plant species as well as a swimming pool.

The very comfortable bedrooms look out over the sea giving magnificent views. You will also hear the tempting murmur of the waves.

The Parador's restaurant features the exotic Canary Island dishes often fish dishes and the local produce. There is a special menu for those on a gluten free diet.

Try: ”Alfonsinos con burgados”, a fish with winkles.
”Quenefas de viejas con salsa de lapas” which are fish rissoles with a sauce made with limpets and sea urchins.
"Caldo de queso herreno", a soup incorporating the cheese of the island.

See the giant trees of the island. Also visit the vantage points of Jinamar, Isora and la Pena; the light tower of Orchilla and the Holy Tree of Garoe.
