Contemplating the stars with the waves in the background At the foot of the El Golfo valley, very close to Los Llanillos, lies El Charco Azul, one of the most beautiful natural pools in the entire Canary Islands and the first astronomical viewpoint of El Hierro. This natural balcony, located just a few meters above the pool, was historically used by locals to observe the Perseids, a meteor shower that occurs between July and August. Today, it has become an observatory equipped with two backlit informational panels powered by solar energy, useful for clearly locating and identifying stars like Polaris and constellations such as the Little Bear without the need for telescopes or powerful lenses.
