Om
Snabba fakta: Belägen 600 meter över Atlanten erbjuder denna utsiktspunkt en av öns mest svindlande panoraman över dramatiska havsklippor. På klara dagar kan du skönja silhuetten av Mount Teide på Teneriffa som tornar upp sig 70 kilometer bort över havet.
Höjdpunkter: Utsiktsplatsens namngivna "balkong" är en smal klipptunga som sträcker sig över ett 600 meters stup, vilket får dig att känna dig som om du står på världens kant. Till skillnad från trånga miradorerna på andra håll låter denna plats dig höra inget annat än vind och brusande vågor 600 meter nedanför.
Insidertips
- Visit on a windy day for the full dramatic experience but hold onto your hat and phone tightly.
- Arrive before 10 AM or after 4 PM to have the viewpoint almost entirely to yourself.
- The short dirt path beyond the main railing leads to a quieter ledge with an even more exposed angle.
- Combine this stop with a visit to the nearby village of La Aldea de San Nicolás for a traditional Canarian lunch.
