Mirador del Rio, La Graciosa

A little more than half an hour from Arrecife, 35 km towards the north of the island, located in the Risco de Famara, is El Mirador del Río. One of the architectural creations most representative of the essence of César Manrique's work, since here you can see perfectly how he sought harmony between art and nature, and respect the environmental values of the Canary Islands.

Carved out of a rocky cliff, 479 metres above sea level, this viewpoint offers the best and unsurpassable panoramic view of the entire Chinijo Archipelago and the island of La Graciosa. © iStock/José Antonio Luque Olmedo
