Roque de la Bonanza

This coastal rock formation rises 200 meters above sea level, standing as a solitary pillar against the northern shoreline of Las Playas.

The geological formation emerged through millions of years of erosion, marking the evolution of El Hierro's volcanic coastline through natural processes.

The rock formation represents a significant element in local folklore, with residents of El Hierro incorporating its image into traditional celebrations and art.

Visitors can observe the formation from several coastal viewpoints, with the best visibility during morning hours when sunlight illuminates its eastern face.

Marine life thrives in the waters surrounding the stack, creating an ecosystem where various fish species and organisms establish their habitat.
