Mirador de El Risco de Famara - Parque El Bosquecillo
Viewpoint at almost 600 metres over Famara beach, the Chinijo islands and La Graciosa, set in a replanted pine wood.
Mirador de El Risco de Famara, in Parque El Bosquecillo, sits on the Famara escarpment in the municipality of Haría. From close to 600 metres up you take in Famara beach, the Chinijo archipelago and La Graciosa in a single view. El Bosquecillo itself is a replanted pine area with a recreational zone, an unusual thing to find on such an arid island.
You reach it by an unpaved track, and access is free around the clock. Take the last stretch slowly and count on the cliff edge being very exposed. With 4.8 stars from more than 2,600 reviews, it is one of the highest rated viewpoints on Lanzarote.
