Los Llanillos

A picturesque hamlet of traditional houses and beautiful gardens

The valley of El Golfo, in the north of El Hierro, is dotted with many small villages. One of these in particular stands out for its charm: Los Llanillos. Close to the coast, it is known for its beautifully kept traditional houses with their flat roofs and bare corner stones. The delightful gardens of the houses, with their colourful flowers are also worth mentioning, and make a stroll around the streets of Los Llanillos a treat for the senses.

The perfect place for a peaceful holiday in El Hierro

Many of these traditional houses have been turned into rural hotels, meaning that Los Llanillos has a wide variety of options when it comes to this type of accommodation. This hamlet is perfect for a relaxing break in what is already a very peaceful island, where your only tasks for the day are to sit on the terrace of one of these lovely houses and listen to the sound of silence, to take a stroll through the local orchards or pop down to the Charco Azul beach to enjoy the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This is all on offer to those in search of a different kind of holiday.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
