Mirador de Chipeque
High mountain viewpoint on the Teide road, famous for the sea of clouds that often fills the valley below.
Chipeque is one of those names Tenerife lovers say with affection: above 1,800 metres, on the road climbing to Teide, it is the perfect balcony to watch the sea of clouds spill over the Orotava valley while the volcano rises clean above it. At dusk the white clouds flush pink and orange, and on clear days La Palma floats to the west. All around, Canary pines add their dark green. Tip: bring a layer, it gets cool up here even when it is hot below.

Mirador de Izcagua
Mirador de Izcagua stands in the El Pinar area of Puntagorda, in the north-west of La Palma, right beside the Mercadillo del Agricultor farmers' market. The website of the La Palma Biosphere Reserve presents it as a set of floating viewpoints: walkways edged with glass railings that reach out over the ravine and give a sensation of flight. It is reached by car from the village centre heading north, along the camino del Pinar.
