Mirador de Puerto de Mogán
A balcony above Puerto de Mogán on the slope of the Lomo Quiebre, taking in the fishing harbour and marina, the white village and the south western coastline of Gran Canaria in a single view. It is reached on foot from the centre, up the narrow lanes that climb behind the quay, and it is one of the most sought after outlooks here in the last hours of the afternoon.
The viewpoint stands on the Callejón las Conchas, on the slope of the Lomo Quiebre that closes off Puerto de Mogán to the east. From up here the fishing harbour and the marina are framed by the low whitewashed houses of the village, with the open Atlantic behind them.
It is worth knowing that the municipality's official list of viewpoints names five further points across Mogán: El Mulato, Playa de Mogán, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Alto and Veneguera. Anyone climbing up here can string them together into a tour of the island's south western face, each one facing a different stretch of coast.

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.
