The small town of La Frontera is larger in size and population (approximately 2500 inhabitants) than the island&#8217;s capital Valverde. A prominent landmark of La Frontera and the entire El Golfo Valley is the prominently visible bell tower, which was built in 1957. It stands on a volcanic cone in the higher area of La Frontera. Behind it rises the steep cliff edge that separates the Mesata de Nisdafe from the El Golfo Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"El Hierro - Rundwanderung - Aussichtspunkt bei Las Casillas auf das Frontera Tal\" width=\"697\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JzeEs_fZycU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hike from the Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes via La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Part 2 of the circular hike across El Hierro, the route leads from the Chapel Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes up to the Cumbre of La Gomera. From there, the hike descends through the misty forest into the El Golfo Valley. The first place you reach is Sabinosa. From there, you continue for a long time along the canal path through the El Golfo Valley towards La Frontera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part 3 of the hike starts in La Frontera and initially takes you to the ascent path to Mirador Jinama. However, as this path was closed in March 2024 due to safety concerns, we retraced our steps to the ascent path San Salvador. This path leads you in a steep and strenuous ascent back to the Cumbre and then to San Andr\u00e9s. From there, the long and partly steep descent to the northern east coast of El Hierro begins. Once you arrive at Playa de Timijiraque, you hike along the coast back to Puerto de Estaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1357\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"Track of the hike from the Ermita Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera (green)\" class=\"wp-image-29522\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1.png 1357w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1-1024x244.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-1-768x183.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1357px) 100vw, 1357px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4.png\" alt=\"Track La Frontera - Puerto de Estaca\" class=\"wp-image-29527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4.png 801w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-768x500.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Information about the Hike from the Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes via La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting Point and Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You start Part 2 of your hike at the Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes. Part 3 of the hike starts in La Frontera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access by Car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes: You can reach the chapel from the northwest via the island road HI-500 and from the northeast via the island road HI-400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Frontera: As a major town in the El Golfo Valley, you can reach La Frontera from the northeast via the HI-1 and also via the coastal road HI-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access by Bus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no bus connections to the Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes. The bus line R12 runs between Sabinosa and La Frontera, and the line R03 runs between Valverde and La Frontera. Further information on bus connections on El Hierro can be found on the Transhierro website &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/transhierro.com\/\">https:\/\/transhierro.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I prefer not to give time estimates, as times can vary greatly depending on individual factors. For Part 2 of the hike from the Chapel de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera, we needed 6.5 hours including breaks. From La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca (Part 3 of the hike), it took us just under 10 hours with some long breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1531\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6.png\" alt=\"Elevation profile of the hike from the Ermita Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera\" class=\"wp-image-29531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6.png 1531w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6-1024x219.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-6-768x164.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1531px) 100vw, 1531px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elevation Difference and Distance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elevation difference on Part 2 of the hike to La Frontera is only 250 meters, as it is mostly downhill. The distance is 17 kilometers. On Part 3 of the hike from La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca, the elevation difference is 1250 meters, and the distance is just under 27 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8-1024x201.png\" alt=\"Elevation profile La Frontera - Puerto de Estaca\" class=\"wp-image-29535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8-1024x201.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8-768x150.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-8.png 1527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hike mostly follows good trails. Only the last part of the hike in Part 3 from San Andr\u00e9s down to the coast is relatively steep and can be a bit challenging due to the many small stones. Especially for Part 3 of the hike, you should have a good level of fitness due to the distance and elevation gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refreshments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have refreshment options in Sabinosa, La Frontera, San Andr\u00e9s, and occasionally in Puerto de Estaca as well as occasionally along the way. However, especially for Part 3 of the hike with the long ascents and no refreshment options, you should definitely bring enough water and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2156\" height=\"1092\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10.png\" alt=\"red: Part 1 Camino de La Virgen hike\ngreen: Part 2 Nuestra Se\u00f1ora to La Frontera\nyellow: part 3 La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca\nblue: neighbouring hikes - Malpaso, Garne, Azofa etc.\" class=\"wp-image-29538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10.png 2156w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10-1024x519.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10-1536x778.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-10-2048x1037.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2156px) 100vw, 2156px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a variation for Part 3 of the hike, I can suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/el-hierro-mirador-de-jinama-a-walk-through-the-steep-cliff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the ascent from La Frontera to Mirador Jinama.<\/a> This path is much shorter than the one presented here via the ascent path San Salvador. However, in March 2024, the path was unfortunately closed due to rockfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the sections of the route are too long for you, you can of course divide them into smaller sections as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find the descent from La Cuesta to the coast too steep and rocky, you can alternatively use the road, which is longer but easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other hikes on SiebenInseln that border on the hikes presented here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/arbol-garoe-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Circular hike on the Meseta de Nisdafe to Arbol Garo\u00e9 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/mirador-de-la-pena\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Circular hike Mirador de La Pe\u00f1a <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/malpaso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Circular hike Merendel and Malpaso <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/san-andres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Circular hike from San Andr\u00e9s over the plateau of Azofa <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12.png\" alt=\"Ascent via La Frontera - Camino San Salvador\" class=\"wp-image-29540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-12-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2: Hike Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to Mirador de Sabinosa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You start your hike at the Chapel Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes and branch off from the HI-506 road onto the GR-131 hiking trail towards Faro de Orchilla. In a few meters, you pass impressive caves, the Cuevas de Caracol. It&#8217;s worth stopping here to see these large cave houses where shepherds once lived. Then the GR-131 veers left, but you continue straight ahead, circling around the Monta\u00f1a de la Virgen. This brings you back to the wide HI-506 road that you came on via the Camino de La Virgen in Part 1 of the hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14.png\" alt=\"On the Camino de La Virgen - hiker on the way to the Mirador de Sabinosa\" class=\"wp-image-29544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-14-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a short while, you hike uphill again on the GR-131.

You gently hike uphill through green land, partly surrounded by stone walls, towards Mirador de Sabinosa. Here, not only do hiking trails converge from all directions, but you can also enjoy a beautiful view over the diverse landscapes of El Hierro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16.png\" alt=\"View from the Mirador de Sabinosa down into the El Golfo valley to Sabinosa and as far as La Frontera\" class=\"wp-image-29547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-16-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section Mirador de Sabinosa to HI-553<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Mirador, you then hike on the Camino la Dehesa PR-EH 9.1 for a long time down through the misty forest.

This takes you downhill for some time along the mountainside towards the east. You reach the PR-EH 2.3 hiking trail, which you continue to follow to the right. Eventually, you arrive at the HI-553 road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20.png\" alt=\"Junction of the Camino de La Tabla hiking trail near Sabinosa\" class=\"wp-image-29552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-20-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section HI-553 to La Frontera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You hike along the road for a short while, uphill to the right, still on the PR-EH 2.3 hiking trail. This trail then branches off to the left from the road as Calle El Canal. From now on, you mostly maintain altitude, hiking left along a canal for a long time. Honestly, after some time, I found it a bit dull. The canal path seemed endless. While you can enjoy views of the coast and later of La Frontera, the long canal path didn&#8217;t impress me much, perhaps also due to the dull weather on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22.png\" alt=\"Hiking trail along the canal - Calle El Canal to La Frontera\" class=\"wp-image-29557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-22-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It becomes slightly more interesting as you walk below the town of Los Llanillos. There, you will see houses and gardens again beside the canal. The canal path is easy to follow and continues towards La Frontera. Eventually, you reach La Frontera and continue straight ahead along the canal path below the main town. Our hike on the canal path ended at the main street Calle la Corredera in La Frontera. And thus, Part 2 of the circular hike El Hierro comes to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24.png\" alt=\"View from the high trail over the El Golfo valley down to La Frontera\" class=\"wp-image-29562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-24-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3 of the Hike: La Frontera to Puerto de Estaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section La Frontera to Ascent Path to Mirador Jinama<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I describe the following section from La Frontera starting from Calle las Lajas (main street), as we stayed nearby and initially went towards the ascent path to Mirador Jinama. Of course, you can start from any point in La Frontera. It is important that you eventually reach the HI-1 road in front of the prominent bell tower in La Frontera. We walked from Calle las Lajas uphill to Calle los Mocanes. We followed this street further uphill until we reached Calle Lomo Alto, which then led us left onto Calle las Lapas. Finally, this street brought us steeply uphill between fields and volcanic rock until we reached the HI-1 road next to the bell tower. This entire path is part of the PR-EH 8 hiking trail, also signposted as Mirador Jinama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26.png\" alt=\"Calle de los Corchos over La Frontera - the road leads through a wine-growing area\" class=\"wp-image-29565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-26-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the hike starts with a decent ascent. After that, you cross Calle Belgara and then turn left at the fork. On Calle los Corchos, you hike, signposted towards Mirador Jinama. You then ascend for a long time between fields and individual houses. The switchbacks of the road are shortened by a hiking trail. Finally, Calle los Corchos makes a sharp right turn. Straight ahead is the entry path to the steep cliff towards Mirador Jinama. The description of the hike to Mirador Jinama on this path can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/el-hierro-mirador-de-jinama-a-walk-through-the-steep-cliff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28.png\" alt=\"The Camino de San Salvador comes from Tigaday and is signposted as crossing Calle de los Corchos\" class=\"wp-image-29568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section Ascent Path to Mirador Jinama to Parking Lot at HI-1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in March 2024, we were unable to use the ascent path due to the risk of rockfall. So we involuntarily had to take the longer route via San Salvador. Since I was not very familiar with this route, I was not really dissatisfied with this truly impressive ascent path. To get there, you first have to follow Calle los Corchos for a long time, hardly used by cars, high above La Frontera towards the right. You hike through a vineyard area with the most beautiful views of the El Golfo Valley and pass some winemaker&#8217;s estates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-1024x768.png\" alt=\"View from the Camino San Salvador over La Frontera and the clouds as far as La Palma\" class=\"wp-image-29571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-30-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, you reach the PR-EH 2 hiking trail, signposted as Camino San Salvador. It crosses the road and comes up from the Tigaday district. You continue steeply uphill to the left. From about 500 meters above sea level, you ascend to 1200 meters, up the steep cliff to the Cumbre. The path winds through the forest in small switchbacks. The views become more impressive with increasing altitude. However, this is also the toughest part of the trail. Finally, you arrive at a small parking lot on the HI-1 road, where the Malpaso and Merendel hike also start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33.png\" alt=\"Back on the Cumbre on the GR-132 hiking trail towards San Andr\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-29574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-33-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section Parking Lot at HI-1 to San Andr\u00e9s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There, you have two options. You can continue uphill on the San Salvador hiking trail to the HI-45 road and then turn left on this road. We decided to simply follow the HI-1 road to the left, as there is little traffic and we had already walked the other way. The routes are roughly the same length. On the HI-1 road, you save a few meters in my opinion. Eventually, both roads merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34.png\" alt=\"Hiking trail below San Andr\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-29576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-34-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards, you initially continue along the HI-1 road, signposted as GR-131 Camino de La Virgen. Later, you continue to follow this signage. I have already described this part of the hike <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/hike-gr-131-camino-de-la-virgen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in Part 1 of the hike.<\/a> It is identical on the way back as it was on the way there in Part 1. But then, shortly before San Andr\u00e9s, you come to a hiking junction. Straight ahead leads to Valverde (<a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/hike-gr-131-camino-de-la-virgen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see also Part 1 of the hike<\/a>). However, you turn right and soon arrive at the center of San Andr\u00e9s on the PR-EH 8 hiking trail. Perhaps you&#8217;d like to take a break in a bar, as we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section San Andr\u00e9s to La Cuesta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to continue from San Andr\u00e9s, follow Calle Jarera Bajo. The path is initially identical to t<a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/san-andres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he hike to Mirador Isora.<\/a> You cross Calle la Cancela and continue along Calle Jarera Bajo, gradually descending into the town of San Andr\u00e9s. At a fork, keep straight ahead until the hiking trail branches off to the right shortly after. This trail takes you downhill through rural areas with fields, individual farms, and walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36.png\" alt=\"Hiker on the hiking trail in the hamlet of La Cuesta\" class=\"wp-image-29582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-36-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You walk downhill for a long time on Calle las Rosas a la Cuesta. At the next major intersection, keep left on the PR-EH 4.1 hiking trail. After some time, this trail leads you to the hamlet La Cuesta. There, you reach the HI-35 road, which you cross. On the other side of the road, the PR-EH 4 hiking trail continues, narrower and steeper now. There is also a road that connects HI-35 with the coastal road HI-30. You will cross this road several times on the hiking trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38.png\" alt=\"Hiking trail down to the coast - Puerto de Estaca in the background\" class=\"wp-image-29585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-38-640x480.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section La Cuesta to Puerto de Estaca<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trail downhill to the coast is narrow and often steep. In some places, in my opinion, it is also quite difficult to walk due to the many small stones. But overall, it is easy to follow and continues on the other side after crossing a road. In front of you, you can see the coast and occasionally already the Puerto de Estaca harbor in the north. From La Cuesta, you descend 900 meters with magnificent views of the towering rock massif to your right and the coast. If you don&#8217;t like the hiking trail at all, you could alternatively choose the longer route via the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-40.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-40.png\" alt=\"Playa de Timijiraque\" class=\"wp-image-29588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-40.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-40-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-40-768x474.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, the path flattens out above the town of Timijiraque and turns northward. And then you reach Playa de Timijiraque with a bar and a bus station. The remaining path now follows along HI-30. Initially, you either walk through the road tunnel or bypass it on the PR-EH 4. Then you already see the Puerto de Estaca ahead. You reach it by first walking along HI-30 and then continuing along HI-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1882\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42.png\" alt=\"Puerto de Estaca\" class=\"wp-image-29591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42.png 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42-1024x753.png 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42-768x565.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42-1536x1129.png 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-42-2048x1506.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And finally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With reaching the Puerto de Estaca, the circle closes. After three days of hiking, we have returned to the starting point. I really enjoyed this extensive and varied round around El Hierro. I hope you feel the same and can enjoy El Hierro. If the sections should be too long for you, they can also be divided into smaller parts as desired. Whatever you decide, I wish you a lot of joy on all your hikes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dagmar from SiebenInseln<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bell tower on the volcanic cone in La Frontera in front of the cliff face<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[245],"tags":[1023,1149,1223,1060],"class_list":["post-29516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-el-hierro-en","tag-coastel-hike","tag-forest-hike","tag-hiking-through-villages-en","tag-summit-hike-en"],"acf":{"island":"elHierro","difficulty":"hard","minHeight":250,"maxHeight":1250,"minDistance":17,"maxDistance":27,"rundwanderung":false,"offroad":false,"gps":"27.730236, -18.120834","currentInformation":"","title1":"","image1":"","link1":"","title2":"","image2":"","link2":"","title3":"","image3":"","link3":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>La Frontera: Major island crossing on El Hierro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A long-distance hike from the Ermita de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera and on to the Puerto de Estaca.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"La Frontera: Major island crossing on El Hierro\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A long-distance hike from the Ermita de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Reyes to La Frontera and on to the Puerto de Estaca.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/la-frontera-hike\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sieben Inseln\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Siebeninseln\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Siebeninseln\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-05-04T07:04:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-20T08:39:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4250-scaled.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dagmar\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Dagmar\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"19\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/la-frontera-hike\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/el-hierro-en\/la-frontera-hike\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Dagmar\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/#\/schema\/person\/c5f85a403410e9dc383cd242420df853\"},\"headline\":\"Circular Hike El Hierro &#8211;
