El Hierro

Cruz de Los Navegantes

Located next to the Orchilla Lighthouse, which for a long time was considered the westernmost point of the known world. This Sailors’ Cross protects those who cross the Atlantic and symbolises the role El Hierro played as the last Christian land during the age of discoveries in the 16th century.

Sustainability

Do not take photos using the flash. They could damage items of artistic and cultural value.
Use the waste-paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers. Do not eat inside exhibition rooms.
Try to be careful with your rucksack or bag and make sure you do not hit anything when you move.
Try to be silent or speak quietly so that you do not bother other visitors.
