Fuerteventura to El Hierrro

Today we left Fuerteventura and flew to the westernmost of the Canary Islands. To get there we flew through Tenerife, the largest and most populous of the Canary Islands.

We spent about two hours in Tenerife and then flew to the island of El Hierro. The airport is very small. We called the rental car company and eventually they showed up with our car.

It was about a 20 minute drive to our hotel, a Parador at the end of the road. El Hierro only has a permanent population of about 11,000 people. It seems very quiet. It’s almost like we are the only tourists here. Being at a new Parador is kind of liking coming home. This is our 87th Parador. Our room is overlooking the crashing waves. It feels very peaceful.

We had been discussing whether to have beer or wine for our welcoming drinks and decided on wine.

For dinner we ate in the Parador restaurant.
