Mirador de Unamuno
Viewpoint in Artenara, Gran Canaria's highest village, dedicated to the writer Miguel de Unamuno, looking towards Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga.
Mirador de Unamuno crowns the old centre of Artenara, Gran Canaria's highest village, perched in the island's mountainous heart. A monument to the Basque writer Miguel de Unamuno presides over the balcony, from which a panorama of ravines, green valleys and the silhouettes of Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga unfolds in the distance.
The setting is calm and almost meditative, with panels explaining the geology and history of the highlands. It is a regular stop for those touring the interior of Gran Canaria and a spot especially prized at sunset, when the light colours the mountains.

Mirador Montaña de La Breña
The Mirador Montaña de La Breña is a viewpoint on the mountain that gives it its name, within the municipality of Breña Baja, on the island of La Palma. It is reached along Calle la Montaña, in the upper part of the municipality, and its whole purpose is the panorama of the surrounding landscape, taken in from the high ground itself. A simple stop to add to an unhurried tour of Breña Baja.

Camping in the Canaries: how the permit works, island by island
Almost everyone gets this backwards. Camping in the Canaries is not banned: there is a network of designated areas, they are free, and you need to apply in advance within a fairly specific window of days. Outside that, it is a fineable offence.
