The island of El Hierro has a small area. The entire track that you will find at the end of the post takes place in less than 100km of area.. There is a clue offroadPerfect for riding a motorcycle trail that crosses the island in the center. And it branches out, showing us different corners such as the mythical tree twisted by the wind, La Sabina.
There are other dirt tracks that are further away, such as the one that passes through the old zero meridian, only suitable for 4×4 and trail motorcycles. We also found some other dirt track to get to a beach, like El Verodal.
Ultimately, The track is made up of 65% asphalt. The remaining percentage passes through dirt tracks without much difficulty. We link them while we visit different charming towns on the island of El Hierro. Also enjoying its winding roads, often without shoulders or safety fences. Which makes them more charming.

With what motorcycle can I do this offroad route through El Hierro?
95% of the time we spend off-road, on tracks offroad, runs through tracks without difficulty. That is, any trail bike can pass without any problem. Even any motorcycle that has at least a 19″ wheel on the front could go on these roads (I recommend 21″). What would be important is that the motorcycle has at least mixed or trail tires, since in some areas we are going to find picon tracks.
Black There are two moments in the entire route that you have to be a little careful, when going down one of the dirt tracks of Pinewood, and when going up to a viewpoint in that same area. Since these tracks have quite a slope, and we should not pick up speed if we do not want to get scared. What I do recommend is go on the motorcycle without passenger to be able to face the eventual difficulties of these dirt tracks.
Are there places to refuel or buy food along the route?
We are going to pass through many towns during the route, so you don't have to worry about food, water or gasoline. We are not going to be on a dirt track for more than 20km at a time, so at any time we could detour to the nearest town to get what we need.
Is there a campsite in El Hierro?
The only place where camping is allowed in El Hierro is at the campsite Hoya del Morcillo. You have to ask for permission website of the Cabildo of El Hierro. Although we have read that you can pay cash to the security guard who is usually guarding the area. You can park your trail bike next to the shed without any problem, and at the campsite you have bathrooms with showers to refresh yourself after a long day of riding. offroad.
