Churches in La Restinga is a guided walking tour of the religious heritage sites in the fishing village of La Restinga, on the southern tip of El Hierro. The tour visits the parish church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen and the small coastal chapel of San Juan, set against the island's volcanic landscape. It offers a compact, hour-long route that connects local maritime history with the village's Catholic traditions.
What to expect

- Stops at the whitewashed chapel of San Juan, which holds a 19th-century bell recovered from a shipwreck
- Suitable for small groups of up to 12 people, with a local guide explaining the role of each church in the village's fishing calendar
