El Hierro, the smallest of Spain's Canary Islands, offers a unique escape for travelers looking for pristine landscapes away from crowds. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve has dramatic cliffs, lush forests, and crystal-clear waters that make it perfect for hikers, divers, and nature lovers. Visitors can check out the ancient Garoé Tree site, swim in the natural pools of La Maceta, or explore the volcanic landscapes of El Sabinar with its wind-twisted juniper trees. Every 4 years, the island celebrates the Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes festival, where locals wear traditional clothes for a procession honoring their patron saint. Though remote, El Hierro connects to nearby Tenerife and Gran Canaria through regular ferries from its main port, Puerto de la Estaca, making it easy to add to a larger Canary Islands trip. The island's focus on renewable energy and sustainable tourism gives you one more good reason to visit this hidden gem.
La Palma, known as 'La Isla Bonita' (The Beautiful Island), is the greenest of Spain's Canary Islands. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offers stunning landscapes from lush forests to volcanic terrain. Visitors can explore Caldera de Taburiente National Park with its massive crater and pine forests, or check out Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, one of the world's best astronomical sites. The island's capital, Santa Cruz de La Palma, charms with its colonial architecture and colorful balconies along Calle Real. Every 5 years, La Palma celebrates the Bajada de la Virgen festival, a major cultural event honoring the island's patron saint with processions and performances. From La Palma, ferries connect to other Canary Islands like Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and El Hierro, making it a great base for island hopping. The island's mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and stargazing opportunities makes it perfect for travelers looking for authentic experiences beyond typical tourist spots.
