Mirador de La Garañona
Viewpoint inside the town centre of El Sauzal, above the cliffs of the Acentejo coast, looking down on Playa de La Garañona, with a bar-cafeteria and parking.
Mirador de La Garañona sits practically inside the built-up centre of El Sauzal, right beside the TF-423 road, and is signposted from the middle of the village. From its balcony you look out over the cliffs of the Acentejo coast and, directly below, Playa de La Garañona. An interpretation panel explains what is in view. It is a short stop, easy to fit into a drive along the northern coast, and it requires no walking at all, because the road runs right up to the viewpoint.
It has a bar-cafeteria with a terrace, its own car park and access for people with disabilities. There is no bus stop nearby, so the practical way to arrive is by car along the TF-423. Bear in mind that the balcony looks straight out over the cliff face, with the beach lying at its foot. As it stands within the town centre, the rest of what El Sauzal offers is within walking distance.

On the northern edge of the La Primavera estate, Mirador de Las Breñas opens one of the widest panoramas in northern Tenerife: the island's peaks on one side, the Atlantic straight ahead. The platform covers 266.73 square metres on two levels, with planted terraces of endemic species. The Sendero de Las Breñas starts here, six kilometres down the cliff of the Costa de Acentejo protected landscape.

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.
