Maybe the mythical charm had been on its summer holidays during our last visit, but within a couple of hours of touching down, we’d succumbed to El Hierro’s friendly embrace once again. […]
The road from Las Playas passes one of our favourite sculptures in the Canary Islands, a lothario looking out to sea. Usually it’s women searching the horizon for the return of loved ones. Not on El Hierro. […]
