El Río is located on Calle Punta Grande in Frontera, El Hierro, beside a coastal corner where rugged geography meets maritime tradition. The establishment's name refers to the nearby stream of the ravine descending toward the ocean in this northwestern part of the island.

The location, in one of the most wind and wave-exposed areas of the Atlantic, offers a characteristic landscape of cliffs and small volcanic stone coves. Here you can observe the power of the sea and the traditional Herreño architecture adapted to the coastal environment.

Punta Grande is known for its tranquillity and for preserving the rural character of the municipality of Frontera, an area where the island's orography and Atlantic climate shape daily life.
