Mirador de Veneguera
Free roadside viewpoint over the Veneguera ravine on the GC-200 between Mogán and La Aldea; it is often very windy.
Mirador de Veneguera looks out over the Veneguera ravine from the GC-200 road, in the municipality of Mogán. It commands one of the least built up ravines in south west Gran Canaria, with the view running open to the sea. It is a regular stop on the scenic drive between Mogán and La Aldea de San Nicolás.
Access is free and unrestricted around the clock, with room to pull in at the roadside. Visitors warn that the wind here is usually strong, so hold on to car doors, hats and tripods. The GC-200 is one bend after another: if you are in a hurry, or travelling with someone prone to car sickness, allow plenty of extra time.

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.
