El Hierro

Impassable cliff-lined shores and a far-flung Atlantic location make the Unesco Geopark island of El Hierro remote in every sense – which is exactly what is so alluring about the Canaries' second-smallest isle. El Hierro was even considered the end of the world until Columbus sailed off to the Americas from here in 1492.
