If you are fit you can walk the hundreds steps to the bay and not to forget up again, if you are not stay on the top and just look and visit the 3 shops and 2 restaurants. This is a part of the island that is just rocky - and windy, like the northern parts of all the Canary Islands. On another hand - it shows the contrasts of the islands, incl el Hierro. To experience that - you must go there.

It's well worth the drive out, the climb down & clamber back up the well maintained path to walk through a piece of living history. This seems to be the way all Herrenos lived way back. Except now there are the giveaway signs of water supply & power lines of course. But the houses themselves, huddled together in this secret, forgotten fold in the cliffs, battered by the storm waves (I imagine) are a throwback to a mediaeval time of making a living from the sea. We only visited briefly, but the Pozo of the title is the man made pool which holds back the sea water and provides a safe & pleasant spot for swimming.

A beautiful and interesting place. A tiny Historical town right on the coast with a great swim spot and some big waves to watch from the safety of the sheltered pool. The walk down is steep ! And back up requires some level of fitness.

The Well of the Calcosas is very close to the municipality of Valverde and worth seeing. It is known for its natural pools, but the truth is that it is a postcard place. The small natural bay is closed by a cliff, below you can see a small village that preserves the type of ancestral construction of houses with a high ceiling, a plant material that is no longer used. A steep staircase leads up to the natural pool. If the swell permits, it is authorized to swim in the open sea. As a walking curiosity of the steps there is a sculpture, by Ruben Armiche, made with recycled materials.

Another of the surprising enclaves of Iron. In addition to the swimming pool that appears in all tourist photos of the island, unique fishing village.

It is very curious and interesting but it is a shame that the Canarian government has abandoned it and that you cannot go down to see it
