Tourist Attractions & Monuments Canary Islands

Visit of a colonial house of the th century. The visit applies mainly to the house, its structure and its gardens. The furniture is recent and the rooms have been replaced by lounges. In the evening, the place is transformed into a chic piano bar.

It organizes different walks around 4 h such as the road of volcanoes, Chamoza and the coast of Anaga, Masca and Los Gigantes, La Vallée valley…

By leaving La Restinga, on the edge of the road (one can stop in a bend on the left), in the middle of a beautiful lava field, lies the cueva of Don Justo. The entrance of the cave, between two black lava plates and tunicate, is not far from the road, but is difficult to find if you don't know the place. It is the best known of the 70 lava tubes found on El Hierro, recognized 6 km in length, but not yet fully explored.

It is not possible to visit it at present as a protective measure of an endemic species sheltered inside. However, if it is reopened during your passage, you must know that you cannot lose it: just follow the thread left by a sighted Ariane. However, do not forget one - or even two flashlight - and replacement batteries. We can stand up at the beginning: the tube goes down and turns up to its own entrance, which shows the light through openings to the ceiling. In order to continue, we must then embark on a passage where the head must be lowered.

The galleries are fairly regular, with large, straight sections. You will notice on the sides the marks of successive levels occupied by the lava casting; on the ground, cordée lava plates. At the ceiling, the orange roots of the surface plants are observed.

Its origins date back to 1608, when a small hermitage was built on some land donated by the second lieutenant Francisco de Valcarcel. Of this construction only the rear façade survives, which was built around 1728 according to the religious architecture of the Canary Islands. The largest chapel is dominated by a neoclassical tabernacle from 1787. Note the sculptures of Christ attached to the column and that of Our Lady of the Remedies, by the Sevillian Pedro Roldán, dating from the 17th century, and the Virgen de la Gloria by Luján Pérez.

It is a volcano that gave birth to this malpaís that now constitutes the coast. It is a characteristic example of the arid coastal ecosystem of the cardónal-tabaibal, with numerous candelabra euphorbias(cardón in Spanish). It can be reached from Puertito, or from the village of Güímar, heading towards the coast along a small road that runs parallel to the motorway exit and under the latter. There is a good view of the volcano and its lava field from the Don Martín viewpoint, 4 km south of the village, on the road to Fasnia.
