| El Hierro is the smallest of the Canaries and is located in the extreme southwest of the chain. Its 278 square kilometres offer a tremendous variety of scenery: from the arid slate-like landscape and the volcanic formations of the south and west to the fertile land in the valley of 'El Golfo' with vineyards and plantations in the northwest, by way of the dense pine and evergreen forests of the island's central area.
