OBSERVATIONS
45Km / 76 K
You have chosen the best way to spend your first hours in El Hierro, a bicycle tour which will take you through a continent within an island. Just 72 kilometers for you to pedal along the coast, lush vegetation, meadows or volcanic landscapes. You have two options, a long route to “fly” on your bicycle over the Mar de Las Calmas, and a shorter one of 30 km (if you decide to go to the apartment when you arrive to La Llanía) Enjoy your day! 4

Today we are going to the south of the island crossing a forest through San Salvador trail. When you reach the top in Dos Hermanas, you will be at one of the most impressive paragliding flying spots. From there you go to the southern edge of the island through a pine forest with an unforgettable aroma. And then a series of volcanic cones will take you to southern Europe, where the last volcanic eruption in Spain took place in 2011. There, you will know what is considered one of the five best places to practice scuba diving in Europe: Mar de Las Calmas.
