The trip to La Gorona del Viento was one of the moments I had most looked forward to, as I was dying to see first-hand the reason why El Hierro is a 100% sustainable island.
I have always been interested in the world of renewable energy and, seeing it for the first time up close, was striking. First, we went to the centre of operations, where we were told that wind and water were the main drivers for producing the power. I feel really proud to know that El Hierro is the first self-sufficient island in the world.
