Mirador Cruz de Tejeda
A summit viewpoint at 1,580 m in the geographic centre of Gran Canaria, with views of the Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga and a starting point for many hiking routes.
The Mirador Cruz de Tejeda is a summit viewpoint at 1,580 metres of altitude, in the geographic centre of Gran Canaria. From here the views open onto the sacred roques of Nublo and Bentayga and across the island's mountainous interior, a landscape that sums up the heart of the summit.
On clear days the Teide of Tenerife stands out in the distance above the sea. The viewpoint sits next to the Parador Nacional de Cruz de Tejeda and is the starting point for many summit hiking routes, so it works both for a quick stop and for setting off on a walk.

Degollada de las Palomas
A viewpoint on the GC-150 road, in the municipality of Tejeda, in the mountainous interior of Gran Canaria. A degollada is a saddle, the low point between two heights, and it is exactly that shape in the terrain that opens up the view from the road. This is a roadside stop with no facilities, on a stretch of tight bends where it is best to pull over only in the marked lay-bys.
