10 Lookouts in Canary Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
The sun-drenched Canary Islands lie close to North Africa and have an exotic flavor of their own. Hundreds of volcanoes, rolling sand dunes, rich forests and rugged cliffs dapple these seven Atlantic gems. Catch a ferry to Lanzarote. Ride a camel through volcanic Timanfaya National Park. Take on Tenerife, home of Mount Teide, Spain's tallest peak. Romp Grand Canary's beaches or hike La Gomera's Garajonay National Park. More adventures await on tiny El Hierro, verdant La Palma and peaceful Fuerteventura.

Although the road to get there is "the long and winding road" it is certainly worth the effort.The views from the top and on the way up are spectacular.If you are on the island of La Palma this visit is a must. When we set off from the coast it was cloudy but at the top it was a beautiful sunny day.

Located 400 metres high, on the Risco de Famara, the Mirador del Río is one of César Manrique's most representative architectural creations as it shows a series of artistic and architectural details and his eagerness to combine art and nature. It is located near the remains of an ancient military base that dates back to the end of the 19th Century. It is camouflaged on the rock in a way in which only a genius of Manrique's magnitude could conceive.

......and the views pretty good! An amazing architectural and engineering feat. The unassuming entrance (cave like) leads to a glorious open, light and airy space which doubles as a viewing platform and restaurant. The outside platform gives a spectacular panoramic view of La Graciosa - but beware it can be cold and of course windy! There is an upper viewing area accessed via a circular staircase cleverly ‘moulded’ into the structure from inside the restaurant sitting area. From this upper level you can still see the remains of the fortress that once stood on the site. Excellent coffee’s and snacks available and reasonably priced considering they have a captive audience! Worth paying the small entrance fee to see one of the best landmarks on the Island!

If you are traveling in Gran Canaria, go up to the center of the island to its highest point and you will discover a dream view, especially at sunset From this viewpoint you will observe the wildest mountains of the island surrounded by lush pine trees, huge ravines, and views that fall more than 1000 meters down From here you can see the island of Tenerife and it is the point from which the Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, can be seen in all its splendor, looming above the sea of clouds, watching the sun disappear behind the island of Tenerife. it's a unique show Be careful, we are almost 2000 meters high, it cools at dusk, you have to bundle up and especially it is winter, this place is called Pozo de las Nieves because here many winters it snows even though we are in the Canary Islands The viewpoint parking is small, it is advisable to go early and if it is possible to avoid weekends, when leaving you have to be patient as a good caravan of cars is formed

If twisting roads and sheer drops are not your thing then don't go. This is the highest point on the island and if you are out this way and have a car you should go. There are walks to do from this point but there is notca lot of parking available.
