Hamlets and villages

Guarazoca is a rural area that is located just 2 kilometers from El Mocanal, it is named after an ancient bimbache princess, who according to legend, for love a Castilian soldier betrayed his people. This area of the island of El Hierro offers visitors wine presses and typical cube-shaped houses. Very close to Guarazoca is the Mirador de la Peña, also other points from where you can see a spectacular view of the ocean and the entire coastline.

El Hierro, despite being the smallest of the 7 islands of the archipelago, is a natural paradise that nature lovers can enjoy in all its dimensions. Just 8 kilometers from the capital Valverde, is this small town that, as mentioned, preserves some old cube-shaped buildings with perfectly preserved thatched roofs.

What you can most enjoy in Guarazoca is rural tourism, the trail routes that extend through this area can reach the Valle del Gofio Mirador de la Peña. These trails pass through el Golfo, a depression with steep walls where you can see the remains of an ancient crater and that to give more beauty is covered by a laurel forest. The walk can be prolonged by the cliffs of Gorreta and Salmor which is an impressive integral natural reserve and which is within the route of the cliffs in El Hierro.

Guarazoca also celebrates the procession of the Virgen de la Peña, whose hermitage is adjacent to the viewpoint.

The island of Hierro is characterized by small populations and Guarazoca is one of those population centers that still conserves part of the traditional constructions and landscapes of enormous beauty.
