The edge of the world

El Hierro

Once considered the end of the known world, the smallest main island is now 100% renewable energy self-sufficient. Its pristine seabed offers some of the finest diving in the Canaries.

El Hierro was once the end of the known world — the reference meridian of ancient geographers passed here, before Greenwich. The island is now 100% renewable energy self-sufficient: wind, solar, and a hydraulic plant cover all of the island's needs.

The Mar de las Calmas marine reserve, in the south of the island, is among Spain's best preserved. Exceptionally clear underwater landscapes, rays, turtles, abundant fauna. For the crew, El Hierro is often the course's most unexpected discovery.

El Hierro is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. An island that proves development and preservation can go hand in hand — a powerful message, at the edge of Europe.
