Mirador de las Dunas
Overlook above the Maspalomas Dunes Special Nature Reserve, with views of the sea of sand and the Atlantic.
Mirador de las Dunas offers one of the best panoramas of the Maspalomas dune field, a protected landscape of shifting sand unique to Gran Canaria. From here you can take in the sweep of sand down to the shore.
It is a convenient point to admire the reserve without entering it, respecting its fragility. At sunset the light over the dunes is especially photographed.

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.
