The Pilancones Nature Park stretches on a surface of 5,794.4 hectares, and it is located in the municipality of San Bartolome de Tirajana. The spot was declared a nature site in 1987, but in 1994 it was declared a nature park. At the same time, it is a nature reserve and special protected area for birds. The place is both a vulnerable spot in terms of biological assets (plant and bird life) and one of considerable scientific interest.
The Guigui Nature Reserve in Gran Canaria features undeniable biological assets. Its appeal is enhanced by the few archeological sites within the reserve.
The alternatives in terms of how to get from Gran Canaria to El Hierro are rather limited, since the sea and air line companies linking the two are fewer.
The Pilancones Nature Park is located in San Bartolome de Tirajana, and this location enhances its tourist visibility and magnetism.
