The Roque del Garachico has huge vertical walls that drop down from its north-eastern side. One of them is home to beautiful orange coral.

The Llano de Las Ventas Astronomical Lookout Point is located in the Breña Baja municipality.

The viewpoint is located in Recta de la Muralla, just next to the main road (LP-1) at 83km, next to a restaurant bearing the same name.

This viewpoint is located 1,250 metres above sea level, in the centre-east part of El Hierro.

The site is an example of 18th century baroque architecture. There is an altarpiece with the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception and a number of sacred works of art. The clock on show is French. It was donated in 1867 by Dr. Gaspar Jerónimo Quintero and each year on December 31 it announces the start of a new year to celebratory crowds.
