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.
Tenerife, El Hierro, La Palma, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura count as chief trip destinations within the Canary Islands for visitors of Gran Canaria.
Tourists vacationing in Gran Canaria should appreciate Cocodrilo Park for all its attractions, though the population of crocodiles is the main highlight.
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.
