VALVERDE TRAVEL GUIDE
El Hierro, Canary Islands, SpainIf you are looking for a holiday hotel or apartment in Valverde, the following information may help by giving you an overview on the resort.
El Hierro's capital Valverde, or to give it it's full title, Santa Maria de Valverde is tiny compared to other capitals across the Canary Islands and sits slightly inland and in an elevated position. Valverde is a pretty town, with some friendly local bars and restaurants, a small cinema, ample cash points, a pretty central plaza and church and on a clear day great views across to
La Gomera, Teide and
Tenerife.
Valverde is a good El Hierro base for a choice of amenities, plus you've easy access to the top little tranquil resort bases of Tamaduste and La Caleta. The volcanic rock pools at Tamaduste are just perfect for swimming! Being elevated it does get the mists a little, but for a walking base it's perfect - just a short distance from the airport then off you go.
Most of Valverde's houses are white, giving it a starkly brilliant look from a distance. The prettiest part of the town is around Plaza Quintero Nunez. Here you'll find the Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion and the town hall. It's a very pleasant place to sit, with fine views of the surrounding mountains. The church dates from 1767 and has an attractive bell tower.
The big festival in El Hierro's capital is the Fiesta de San Isidro which takes place annually on 15th May. A lot of Canarian wrestling goes on around this festival. Also later in the year on the 8th December Valverde celebrates the Fiesta de la Virgen de la Concepcion.
