River Viewpoint

Mirador del Río is the place with the most impressive views of La Graciosa. A sinuous road will take you to a place where it seems as if the world ends. And what you find there is wonderful.

It is a place designed by the hyperactive César Manrique, who took advantage of a fantastic place to transform it. From there, on a good day, the views are unbeatable. And since the island is beautiful and fantastic, the only thing you can do from up there is to be fascinated with so much beauty. It really is a magical place.

It is the third viewpoint made by César Manrique (El Palmarejo in La Gomera, La Peña in El Hierro) that I visit, and they are all beautiful and located in strategic places.

To see this one you must pay. I was surprised. It has a magnificent view over the archipelago Chinijo (Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Alegranza, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste).

La Graciosa, the only one that is inhabited (644 people), and separated from Lanzarote by a tongue of water called El Río. It has two towns, the capital, La Caleta del Sebo and Casas de Pedro Barbas. The island is quite flat, although it has a few small volcanoes.

La mejor vista de la isla de la graciosa. Tomarse algo el en bar y disfrutar de las vistas es algo obligado en tu viaje.
