    Description

    Hello we are a family from the Canary Islands, on the smallest of the archipielago, called El Hierro. It´s a beautiful island declared a biosphere reserve with 10.000 inhabitants, it´s very relaxed and different from the rest.
    We live in the village of El Pinar, it´s small with 1,500 people, close to the mountains and 15 minutes by car to the sea.
    In the island you can practice all kinds of sports, adventures, swimming, diving, mountain biking, underwater fishing, paragliding…
    We love to meet new people and usually do an interchange, and we can offer a little apartment of 30 square metres which is next door to our house.
    The apartment has a bathroom, kitchen, wifi, television and all the basics to be comfortable



    Un abrazo , Francisco y Tere

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    El Hierro is a very small island and most people here do not speak English, or German so having some Spanish is desirable but not essential. Having a car is also better as buses are limited, but we can give you a bicycle and most people hitchhike here as it is very safe. There is no crime in El Hierro. We are looking for someone...
