For feeling the bravery and power of the Atlantic Sea you only need to put a foot in some of the natural swimming pools of El Hierro. Small spaces where taking a bath without worrying about the currents. Most of them are remnants of the lava that walled off the seawater. Nature created the swimming pools and the only human intervention was habilitating them with stairs and footbridges and securing them for anyone to visit them. A different and unforgettable experience surrounded by clean and crystalline water in the middle of an almost virgin environment. You will find your balcony in front of the sea in the different natural swimming pools of the island.
