El Golfo
El Golfo (northwest coast of El Hierro) – this vast area is an enormous natural amphitheater, encircled by 3,000 ft-high escarpments and filled with family allotments, slumbering white-washed villages and plantations bursting with pineapple, mango and banana.
El Golfo is home to several settlements. Frontera and Sabinosa are the largest, while Los Llanillos, Merese, Toscas, and Tigaday are of smaller size and population. A favorite amongst hikers, Sabinosa is famous for its groves of Junipers, most notably the melancholic Sabina de El Hierro. Los Llanillos and Las Puntas, on the other hand, are just the place for leisure walks and unwinding.
