Mirador de La Peña, an architectural masterpiece by Manrique in El Hierro, offers breathtaking views and a stylish atmosphere. The drinks are reportedly overpriced and not the best, but enjoying a drink here is still a nice experience. The restaurant serves decent food for lunch; however, it could benefit from better menu options and a proper chef. Despite this, the space's design and view make for a unique visit that should not be missed.
We took a coffee break there while we were hiking. The service was attentive and good, the prices were okay for a tourist place. The toilet facility was very clean. The view from the terrace is wonderful - it's worth it!

Beautiful place definitely worth a visit. Views are amazing and the food was really tasty. We had a local fish, chicken and traditional goat stew, all decent. Cheesecake and a coffee was a nice addition. The only thing we didn’t like was a house wine. We didn’t want to order a whole bottle so decided to try glass of white and red and it was horrible.

Breathtaking views from this point of the island. Coffee was good and together with the view its a great experience. We just took coffee here, so I can't say anything about the food, although staff didn't felt so welcoming.
There is space to park your car, but it gets full on peak hours.
Keep in mind that you can enjoy the views from outside of the restaurant, so no need to spend any money to enjoy the views.

The Mirador is amazing, of course...Cesar Manrique designed it, the views are gorgeous, really stunning.
After trying to have lunch in several suggested places by local people which were closed during Xmas holidays, we were hungry after the hikes so we decided to give a try to this tourist place, hoping that Km0 policy would allow us to have a taste of El Hierro.
We knew it would have been overpriced, didn't expect so much overpriced for the quality of the food and service (slow and not willing to give you any explanation about the ingredients, only if asked they would tell you something, the minimum).
Temperature of the white wine not ok, after the right time in the glaciette it became ok, but it was much after the selection of cheese was brought and finished.
The soup "huevo a la herreña" not ok the presentation, not ok the seasoning, not ok the potatoes, we tried to gently give our feedback, but the answer was that taste is personal, it may be true, but the quality of the ingredients it's not personal neather the seasoning.
The lamb was average and the fried goat was very dry and difficult to find meat only fat, the potatoes also very dry and not seasoned.
We diligently compiled the feedback sheet they gave us, hoping it will help to improve the standard of a place that deserves better, until this switch doesn't happen, my humble suggestion is to enjoy this place for the main reason it exists: the view, have a coffee in the terrace to enjoy more the stunning view, but don't pay so much for such a low way to respect the products.

You will find La Peña viewpoint in Guarazoca in the north of the island of El Hierro. From the viewpoint, you can also see the Salmor Rocks. The viewpoint was designed by the Canary Islands architect - César Manrique. There is a restaurant there, but I just stop by for coffee and really great views. The island is small, so make sure this point is on your list.

Great location. A Friday evening all tables had reserved signs. They gave us a table. Waited about 10 minutes for a drink order after being given the menu's. 2 waiting staff on duty. 4 tables having coffee. Ordered our meal croquet and Lapis to start . lapis over cooked. Friend had the baby goat so over cooked, had to pick it up to eat it.
I had ordered the chicken breast and mushroom sauce. Was coated in some form of flavoured crumb. Looked like it was bought in. Very dry and chewy. Hard to cut even though the knives were sharp. Fries look warm and the veg was cold. Cost nearly 80e for 2 people. With 2 beers. When I paid and said the meal was bad. Waitress gave a surprised look. No apology gave me my change and a service card which I scored accordingly.
Amazing space and views. No customers in the premises when we left at around 8.30pm Friday evening.
Avoid at all costs I have over 20 years experience in catering.
I live in the canaries andh have had better meals in cafes at a fraction of the cost
If back in El Hierro would not visit this place ever again.

View is indeed amazing. Don’t eat there.
The food… made us laugh so hard when it arrived… I don’t recall eating anything as awful in a very long time. All in all it was funny but that fish was simply threatening. The croquettes tasted sort of rancid. 58€ for one starter and two mains with sparkling water.
Do yourself a favour and get a drink (maybe a pastry - this can’t be dangerous) and enjoy the view, especially the sunset.
Nicolas Belayew — Google review
The right weather at the right time of day would offer you wonderful views. Even on a bad day, it's worth it just to admire yet another of César Manrique's magnificent earthy architecture. We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant so I can't say anything about it.
Chiew Pang — Google review
Designed by Manrique, this one the not so many, beautiful pieces of architecture of El Hierro. Breathtaking views and enjoying here a drink is just heaven on earth. Even if the drinks are slightly over-priced and not the best. Still having a drink was a very nice experience. The place is stylish and clean, we worked from here one afternoon and had some food for lunch, which was good, decent, not bad, not good. This place would deserve a better menu and a proper chef considering all the space, view and design that it offers - it's a pity they didn't invest more in their drinks and gastronomic experience and capitalize only on the building and view. So, not necessarily recommend for dining, but definitely visit it and enjoy the view.

Playa de Tacorón is a spacious beach area with multiple entry points into the water via ladders, as well as sections of sand and rocks for swimming. Wooden paths and covered barbecue huts are available, providing a fantastic experience. The beach offers undisturbed spots, and visitors can access sanitary facilities and a kiosk near the parking lot. The black rocks and breaking waves create a unique atmosphere, making it an ideal place to visit.
Beautiful area, there are also some small sand beaches to walk to. It can get a bit wavy, so pay much attention to the so called 'natural' pool area were the stairs to water are. Otherwise a very enjoyable area for some sun bathing, a swim and amazing sunsets. You also have table seating in the shade, if you're intersted in a full day spent there.

Great beach area, which is very spacious. There are many entry points into the water via ladders, but also sections of sand and rocks that allow access for swimming. Wooden paths have been installed and there are huge covered barbecue huts. You can find an undisturbed place at any time - simply fantastic. Sanitary facilities and a kiosk (which was closed during our visits) are available near the parking lot, which can be reached without problems via an asphalt road. Clear recommendation for the entire area!

The Ecomuseum of Guinea is a stunning cultural and natural attraction that showcases the development and lifestyle of the island's inhabitants over time, integrating beautifully with its surroundings. While visitors may appreciate how people rediscovered essential tools for survival, there are concerns about inadequate guidance, particularly in English. Despite this setback, it remains an intriguing site to explore and learn more about if you're curious about history and culture.
Wow! What an amazing museum... in fact 3 museums: Lava tube, El Hierro lizards and the old Bimbanche village. All of them are very interesting, I spent more than 2 hours here. Probably the best museum of El Hierro! You should see it!
Bogdan E. — Google review
Beautiful historical landmark. The houses themselves added to the natural landscape offer a good reason to visit this place. It's interesting to see how this island developed and lived during the period that it has been populated, how people seemed to have rediscovered tools and utilities necessary for living. Only remark would be the guiding. We paid a tourist price and yet there's not guiding in english, not even a slightly attention to trying to make it slower in spanish or at least trying to explain a bit in english, the basics. So, it seemed we could have as easily do the tour on our own with a printed paper in english. We were a group of 5 tourists, there should be some english offer. Otherwise, the place is worth the time if it's something you're curious about.

A fascinating peek into the recent history of this island.
Mirador de Jinama is a viewpoint that offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Located in El Hierro, Spain, it stands at an altitude of 1,000 meters and overlooks the Valle del Golfo valley. The viewpoint provides a unique perspective of the rugged terrain, with its jagged cliffs and deep ravines contrasting against the blue sky. Visitors can marvel at the natural beauty of this volcanic island while taking in breathtaking scenery from this vantage point.
The Volcanological Interpretation Center is a must-visit for those interested in the volcanic history of the Canary Islands. The museum offers a wealth of information on vulcanology, including details about the last underwater eruption near El Hierro. Visitors can explore interactive displays and watch a film that provides insight into the most recent underwater eruption, making it an educational and engaging experience for all.
In every Interpretation Center here in El Hierro the personnel are so nice, so attentive, so kind, so welcoming, so willing to help you have the best experience on the island!
Sergio was so nice and accurate with us!

We visited the Volcanological Interpretation Center today. We loved the exposition and the enlightening explation of the Island's birth and geolocical facets of and faces of the vulcanic activities in the past.
Beautifully done, loved the 'lava garden' and the path through it, that was created. Also very fascinating to see the documentation and video show of the birth of the latest volcano off the shore of Restinga (still just below sea level, but who knows how long that will stay like that?!) :-)
We had obtained a museum passport for the island, and this was the second highlight of the four we ticked off to date.

Very interesting particularly if you take the time to read the panels in the first building (QR translations in English and German). The exterior path could do with a lot more explanations particularly for those of us that are not geologists! Second building deals primarily with eruptions in 2011/12..some interesting videos. Although a shame that the archeological/architectural elements are not better exposed.

Probably the worst museum I've ever been to. First of all: the topic of El Hierro's vulcanic history and the recent eruptions of canary islands is highly interesting and I was really excited to get some deeper insights when I arrived at the museum. Unfortunately, I left fully disappointed:
- There are only two rather small rooms
- Many things are broken (e.g. several beamers)
- Many objects are completely contextless and uncommented, like pictures of a church (?!)
- Translations (German/English) are often incomplete (Spanish sentences) or wrong (sentences do not make sense)
- The beamers are gesture-controlled by waving with your hands which is a nice idea to make the experience more interactive but poorly implemented. You have to navigate back and forth a lot and in the end it's just uniteractive text blocks
- Interformation often redundant (e.g. the exact same map is exhibited twice) without really explaining the big picture
- According to older reviews the museum used to be free but nowerdays they charge you an entry fee of approximately 5€ per adult
- Whilst El Hierro pretends to be a highly sustainable island using reneweable energy souces, this museum is wasting a lot of electricity, produced by a stinky diesel engine in the backyard

Located in the picturesque town of Pozo las Calcosas, Cam is a popular destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. This serene natural oasis boasts stunning landscapes, including majestic mountains, lush forests, and cascading waterfalls. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and mountain biking. The area also offers opportunities for relaxation with its hot springs and inviting pools that provide soothing hydrotherapy treatments.
Access to the Mirador de Bascos is currently closed due to safety concerns. However, visitors who brave the long hike and 800 meter elevation gain are rewarded with a stunning view. While this attraction may be temporarily unavailable, nearby Sabinal offers a similarly worthwhile experience for tourists. It is undergoing renewal efforts, but still remains a lovely destination to visit.
(Translated by Google) Access to the Mirador is closed, because it is too dangerous. But we were rewarded by the magnificent view after a long walk with an elevation gain of 800 meters.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic views over the entire Golfo Valley after you have completed the steep climb (approx. 600 m in approx. 3 km). The circular route then leads to another highlight of the island: El Sabinar and back to the starting point via the Ermita de los Reyes.
Despite the large differences in altitude, the tour is quite pleasant overall. The views make up for the “physical exertion”.

Traumhafte Blicke über das gesamte Golfo-Tal, nachdem man den steilen Aufstieg (ca. 600 hm auf ca. 3 km) geschafft hat. Anschließend führt der Rundweg zu einem weiteren Highlight der Insel: El Sabinar und über die Ermita de los Reyes zurück zum Ausgangspunkt.

The Interpretation Center Tree Garoé is a small yet intriguing location on El Hierro that boasts an interesting history. To reach it, one must follow the signs on the road as Google Maps will take you to an inaccessible point on the main road. Instead, take a non-asphalted road through a lovely forest or opt for a hike from the main road. The center is known for its impressive tree that consumes an abundance of water and offers superb views of La Palma on clear days.
Unique! Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this stunning and magical place if you visit El Hierro. A place surrounded by nature and easy to imagine how the bimbaches used to live. The entry is not expensive and it’s a fair price for this place to be maintained and preserved.

Not particularly impressive, but a "must see" on El Hierro because of the history of the tree, that spends so much water. In addition, on good days you have a great lookout and can see e.g. La Palma. You can either take a nice hike from the main road or drive to the entrance by car.

It's really hard to get to it as it's not signed clearly but once you are there, the view is breathtaking and worth to get lost on the way. You can see the bay (Las Playas) and the Roque Bonanza from there. There are restrooms on site as well.
The observation deck Mirador La Llanía offers stunning views and is the only adapted route suitable for families to hike together. There are multiple circuits of varying lengths that are well-marked, enabling hikers to witness the diverse landscapes of the island. The hike through the laurisilva forest is particularly remarkable. Additionally, visitors can walk amidst clouds as they explore one of three walking routes that take two, three, or four hours respectively.
One of the most beautiful Mirador of the island. The best place to appreciate the laurisilva, the path and hikes are breathtaking, and so well preserved!

Roque de la Bonanza is an iconic point in the island of Hierro, located in the bay of Las Playas. This curious rock formation stands at a height of about 200 meters and is interpreted differently by everyone. It evokes the wild, grandiose, and unforgettable nature of El Hierro. The area is described as very nice and quiet, making it ideal for snorkeling and diving activities.

The Ethnographic Center Casa de las Quinteras is a collection of small stone houses that showcase exhibits about the past rural island life. Visitors can view displays on traditional clothing, ceramics, and trades such as blacksmithing, carpentry, and weaving. While some visitors may have expected information on pre-Hispanic peoples, the museum primarily focuses on the aftermath of the Conquistadors' arrival. The property also has a well-regarded craft shop onsite.
Very informative museum, I enjoyed my visit here!

A cosy, small museum with insights into the history and livelihoods of the native peoples

Went thinking it would have history of the pre-Hispanic people, yet sadly mostly about life after the Conquistadors had arrived & descriptive of trades: pottery, blacksmith, weaver, & carpentry. Beautiful property though. Do not drive directly to it as no parking & then stuck in narrow 1 way streets. Park instead on the main road & walk a few steps to it.

(Translated by Google) Interesting display of volcano tunnel and volcano bubble. We saw some lizards and we walked around the old houses in the area.

Intressant visning av vulkantunnel och vulkan bubbla. Vi såg några ödlor och vi gick runt de gamla husen på området.
