Imagine a paradise for underwater diving. Yes, this is El Hierro,<br />
the island that is bathed in transparent waters, where lovers of<br />
diving come every year from all over the world to photograph<br />
one of the best ocean depths of the planet. Relax and chill out<br />
in this small corner of the Atlantic that overflows with an abundance<br />
of nature.<br />
You will be able to boast of having been in one of the Biosphere<br />
Reserves of Europe. Take away with you an unforgettable memory<br />
of volcanoes and lava fields, fertile valleys, and dramatic<br />
cliffs up to 1000m high; dense forests of species of vegetation<br />
that have survived in the island since prehistoric times; trees<br />
that are a thousand years old, twisted by the wind; reptiles that<br />
were thought to be extinct... You will ask yourself how so much<br />
diversity is possible in such a small territory, but you’ll realize<br />
that here everything is authentic. Forget your stress and turn<br />
your back on routine in this privileged island where aboriginal<br />
legends tell of sacred trees: this is the place that was considered<br />
the limit of the known world in classical times.<br />
But El Hierro is also the future. The island shows its determination<br />
to maintain a system of sustainable development, thanks<br />
to the construction of a hydro-aeolic plant which will mean it<br />
is completely supplied by clean, renewable energy, as well as<br />
making it independent in terms of energy supplies.<br />
