Sights in El Hierro

  1. A

    Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción

    The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción is a simple three-nave structure built in 1767 and crowned by a bell tower with a railed-off upper level that serves as a lookout. Inside, the polychrome Purísima Concepción is Valverde's most prized piece of artwork.

  2. B

    Casa de las Quinteras Centro Etnográfico

    Some day the Island Museum will open beside the church, but there's no completion date in sight. For now the town's only museum is the Casa de las Quinteras Centro Etnográfico, where exhibits about rural island life are displayed in a small stone house.

  3. Calle Dr Quintero

    The lure of El Hierro lies in its natural spaces, not here in town. Still, a short stroll (at most, allot a morning here) can be rewarding. Calle Dr Quintero is a pedestrian-friendly street, home to shops and bars.

  4. Plaza Quintero Nuñez

    This sprawling plaza is known locally as the Plaza Cabildo, and acts as a splendid welcoming mat for the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
