Average temperatures vary from 19º in winter to 23º in summer. <BR clear=all> <IMG SRC="../img1/hi-fo-mar.jpg" ALIGN="right" ALT="El Hierro" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10 VSPACE=8 WIDTH=240 HEIGHT=120> </p> <p><b>What's the best of the island?</b> <br> There are lots of great places to visit. For trekking, walk around the luxuriant forests and natural landscapes. You can enjoy wonderful sights just about everywhere. From the 'Mirador de la Peña' lookout, you can see 'El Golfo', a 15 km. entrance to the sea, with its impressive and steep slopes. <p>This page shows just a little of what you can find on this quiet island. <p><b>What about the swimming and beaches?</b> <br> There are large natural swimming pools in Pozo de las Calcosas or Tarmaduste, just 10 km. from Valverde, the island capital. Valverde was formed from an eruption from the El Tesoro volcano, when lava flowed into the sea. For beaches, go to Timijiraque or La Hoya del Verdoral, the longest on the island, with its red sand and calm blue waters. Or if you really want to experience solitude, try the south-east side where you can enjoy the empty beaches of Almorranas, Arena, Los Cardones, Playa Dulce, etc... <p><b>The Roque de Bonanza is around here, isn't it?</b> <br> Yes, it is one of the most symbolic places on the island with its 200 meter high peak. This expansive area has been declared a Natural Monument. <p><b>Is it possible to dive here?</b> <br> For sure! The south coast sea bed is an excellent diving area and is even called 'Mar de las Calmas', which means Calm Sea. It's also ideal for other kinds of water sports. Don't forget to visit 'Cueva de Don Justo' (Don Justo's Cave), a volcanic tunnel 6 km. long, and Lajial Natural Park. </BLOCKQUOTE> <BR CLEAR=ALL><hr align=center width=80% size=2> <CENTER> <SMALL> <A HREF="../Lanzarote/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>Lanzarote</A> <A HREF="../Fuerteventura/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>Fuerteventura</A> <A HREF="../Gran_Canaria/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>Gran Canaria</A> <A HREF="../Tenerife/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>Tenerife</A> <A HREF="../La_Palma/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>La Palma</A> <A HREF="../La_Gomera/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>La Gomera</A> <A HREF="../El_Hierro/TouristGuide.html" target="_top" CLASS=s>El Hierro</A> </SMALL> </CENTER> <BR>  <DIV ALIGN=CENTER> </DIV><BR CLEAR=ALL> <BR> </BODY> </HTML> <BR><BR> <CENTER> <p> <p>  <HR WIDTH=75%> This page is seen much better with a FRAMES capable browser <A HREF="../El_Hierro/Tourism1.html" TARGET="_top"> <br><H2><B>...click here to continue</B></H2> </A> <HR WIDTH=75%> <BR><BR> </CENTER> <hr align=center width=80% size=2> <CENTER> <SMALL> <A HREF="../El_Hierro/Tourism1.html" CLASS=s>|A quick glance|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=B&id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>|Search Accommodations|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=R&id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>Reservations|</A> <BR> <NOBR> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=B&id=in&is=hi&CatXX=C&zona=XX&TipoAloj01=C" CLASS=s>|Hotels and Aparthotels|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=B&id=in&is=hi&CatXX=C&zona=XX&TipoAloj02=C" CLASS=s>|Apartments and Bungalows|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=B&id=in&is=hi&CatXX=C&zona=XX&TipoAloj03=C" CLASS=s>|Villas and Vacation Homes|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgBuscAloj-GenProc.cgi?modo=B&id=in&is=hi&CatXX=C&zona=XX&TipoAloj04=C" CLASS=s>|Rural Tourism|</A> </NOBR> <BR> <NOBR> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgRentaCar-gen.cgi?id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>|Renting a car|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgOcioDeporte-gen.cgi?id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>|Leisure time & sports|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgViajes-gen.cgi?id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>|Travel|</A> <A HREF="../cgi-bin/PgOpinion-gen.cgi?id=in&is=hi" CLASS=s>|Opinions|</A> </NOBR> <br>  <A HREF="../El_Hierro/TouristGuide.html" CLASS=s TARGET="_top">|Home Page|</A> </SMALL> </CENTER> <BR> <SMALL><p CLASS=s> © 1998-2002 <b><a href="http://www.lanzanet.com">Lanzanet, S.L.</a></b> <a href="/Legal-in.html">Conditions of Use.</a> <A HREF="MAILTO:info-hi@abcanarias.com" CLASS=s>info-hi@abcanarias.com</A>.<BR> </SMALL><br><br> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY>
