The weather

Guaranteed good weather, blue skies, lots of sun and sandy beaches are among the most important factors for most people when they come to the Canary Islands. That is why, for example, on Gran Canaria or Tenerife, the coastal areas with lots of sun and little rainfall are lined with hotels. El Hierro has few sandy beaches, no hotel complexes, no mass tourism, not even a shopping center or cinema and only offers a “weather guarantee” in a few places on the island.

The Finca La Paz is located pretty much in the middle of the island at an altitude of around 600m. Strategically well located to reach all regions of the island quickly and easily. We have changing weather. Especially in the winter months from January to March it can also be cold and rainy. But that is not the case every year. And even when it is – as soon as the sun shines, it is very warm, like everywhere else on the island, as the solar radiation is very intense here at any time of year.

Because we cannot guarantee the weather, our finca is especially recommended for people who have a little more time and the desire to get involved in this beautiful place with all its different aspects. Getting involved means opening up to space and slowness and in this way finding yourself more naturally. Getting involved also means opening up to sun, wind and maybe even rain.

We recommend that our guests rent a car, especially on their first visit, so that they can drive to the sea on cloudy or cool days. It is not far and in certain places such as the Tacoron, this is like a little climatic trip to Africa.

Alternatively, trips to different areas of the island, individual places and of course the forests are also tempting. Wonderful hiking trails start right in front of our house. For people who only have two weeks and want reliable sun and bathing weather from morning to night, there are more suitable places than our finca…
