El Hierro to Gran Canaria

Today about noon we caught a plane from El Hierro to Gran Canaria

Leaving El Hierro

On our way to the airport we watched a helicopter hovering over a boat and lowering swimmers into the water. You may have read about African migrants landing on El Hierro. We don’t know but we thought what we were seeing might be a migrant boat being intercepted. On the other hand it might have been a training mission.

The helicopter and the boat

Our flight was short, less than an hour. Once we landed we picked up our rental car and drove to Casa Leon Royal Resort where we are tonight. It is an absolutely stunning place to stay. It’s all inclusive with stunning views and an infinity pool that we will have to try out tomorrow.
