Mirador El Guriete
An official viewpoint on Gran Canaria's Mirador Network, beside the GC-65 in Santa Lucía de Tirajana, with sweeping views over the island's inland valleys and ravines.
Mirador El Guriete is part of Gran Canaria's Mirador Network and sits beside the GC-65 road in the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana. It is a stop designed for pausing to take in the island's mountainous interior, with valleys and ravines opening up from the viewing balcony. Its official status makes it a safe, easily accessible point right off the road.
From here the view spreads over slopes and deep ravines dropping towards the south, a landscape shaped by Gran Canaria's volcanic geology. It is a short but very photogenic stop on any inland route, especially rewarding in the soft light of sunrise or sunset.
