Pico de Bandama
Summit with a panorama of the Bandama Caldera and Gran Canaria's northeast coast.
From Pico de Bandama, at around 574 metres, you take in at a glance the striking Bandama Caldera, a volcanic crater over a kilometre wide, together with the northeast coast and the city of Las Palmas beyond. Access is easy by car with parking available. It is a much-visited, highly rated viewpoint; sunrise and the cooler hours give the best light and atmosphere.

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.
