Travel and logistics

You have the possibility of many choices of flights (regular or low cost lines) to come to the Canaries. For El Hierro, you have to go through Tenerife or Gran Canaria (capitals) then take a national flight or ferry).

On site, car rental is highly recommended and favored over public (and cheap) transport.

Accommodation and restaurants are in keeping with the simplicity and the desire to preserve the island, which refuses mass tourism.
