January 30th was an important day for people on the small island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands as Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia came to El Hierro for the prince's 44th birthday, although it is unknown how long the royal couple will spend there.
The Prince and Princess visited the Canarian stand during the recent tourism fair [FITUR] in Madrid.
El Hierro island is the smallest of the Canary Islands, and the furthest west; consequently it is the last place in Spain where the sun sets. Superb pine forests, sheer mountain walls and fantastic outlook points or miradors are also available to the visitor on their holidays to El Hierro. Rural tourism on El Hierro comes into its own, with a carefully managed network of hotels and accommodation.
