Bajada de la Virgen — El Hierro festival

<p>Most important festival — every 4 years in July. Virgin of the Kings statue carried on foot from sanctuary (La Dehesa, far west) across entire island to Valverde. Traditional dancers, musicians, pilgrims. Entire island participates. Camino de la Virgen trail used. Next: July 2025. Book accommodation 6+ months ahead. Extraordinary experience if you time it right. Outside Bajada years, sanctuary and trail still worth visiting.</p>
