Churches in Frontera is a guided walking tour of the historic Catholic churches in Frontera, El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands. The route covers the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria and the Ermita de San Pedro, both built from local volcanic stone. Visitors learn how these buildings anchor the town's religious and agricultural calendar.
