El Hierro, the eco-friendly island
Lonely Planet's Sarah Andrews is in the Canary Islands, researching the guidebook and learning to live sustainably ... in the smallest Canary Island, El Hierro, a rural island where tourism has yet to descend, where chickens (not pesticides) keep pests away from banana plants, sheep (not herbicides) keep fields weed-free, and crops are rotated every season, easily making El Hierro the most eco-friendly place in Spain.
