La Gomera, the perfect place to learn from the most authentic nature

The beautiful landscapes of the Tejeda municipality hide several stone giants, including the Roque Bentayga. From a scenic point of view, this place offers us a unique show, which Unamuno defined as “a petrified storm.” The Tejeda canyon, often called the Grand canyon, stuns when seen from a central perspective, from the very heart of the hydrographic basin. This rock is part of the Protected Natural Spaces Network.

You are at a lookout point composed of two distinct parts. The first, facing west, offers privileged views of the Teide and La Palma, whose silhouette can be seen on clear days. The second part is composed by a curious vision of volcanic form with the appearance of a rose that will not fail to make an impact. To see the object it is necessary to access a passage by foot that crosses the road underneath leading to the other side of the road. From a small parking lot downhill you can access directly to "La Rosa." Highly recommended.

In the upper part of El Paso, at 1,200 meters above sea level, the Llanos del Jable lookout point offers splendid views of the Aridane Valley during the day, with the ancient volcano of Montaña Quemada in the foreground. At night, this area of La Palma – an island that is recognized as a Starlight Reserve due to the quality of its sky – is a wonderful natural balcony to contemplate unique panoramic views of the sky. The lookout point has an information panel and ample parking, although it lacks nearby services. It is advisable to bring warm clothes.

From the viewpoint at Las Peñitas in Betancuria, an incredible view is laid out before you: a green oasis in the middle of the desert. The underground river that flows beneath the Las Peñitas ravine emerges through a man-made dam and creates a small lake that is dotted with native plants. The open esplanade of this viewpoint is the perfect stop-off when taking a drive through the interior of Fuerteventura and enjoying this beautiful, surprising landscape.

Located to the south of Gran Canaria, Montaña Arena beach is one of the few virgin spots around. It’s a favourite place for locals who come to get away from the crowds. The sand is very fine and the water is transparent. Unfortunately because access to the water is a little challenging it’s not a recommended place for families.

This lookout point offers a wide perspective of the Sea of Las Calmas, and the slope of El Julan, topped at this southern end by the volcanoes of La Restinga. From here we can see the strength of the volcanic ridge or riff, which culminates in La Restinga with more than 200 volcanic cones. This lookout point was a privileged vantage point to watch the volcanic stain over the sea during the submarine eruptive episode of La Restinga. The sunsets contemplated from Tanajara have a special charm.

The San Antonio volcano lookout point is located in the south of La Palma, in the area known as Cumbre Vieja, in Fuencaliente, at an altitude of 633 meters above sea level. The San Antonio volcano lookout point has a visitor center. The lookout point is located on a trail above a volcano that erupted in 1677. From there you can see another, much more recent one (the Teneguía, which awoke in 1971). One of the two malvasia grape-growing areas on the island is located on the lava flows of the first one. While during the day this lookout point offers spectacular views of the crater and the slopes of the volcano, at night it becomes a real window to the universe.

Located in the central municipality of Tejeda, on the island of Gran Canaria, Roque Nublo is considered one of the largest natural crags in the world. Of special significance for the islanders, this volcanic rock rises eighty meters above its base and 1,813 meters above the sea. A former place of worship for the aborigines, the entire area around it was declared a protected natural area in 1987 and a rural park seven years later. Its enormous presence is only surpassed in height by the peak of Las Nieves, with 1,949 meters, the highest place in Gran Canaria.

Here you will find a south-facing lookout point that offers suggestive views of Montaña Bermeja and the slopes of Arafo. Located in the Natural Park of the Corona Forestal, you have a large parking lot where you can park without hassle and granting you a beautiful view of the southern pine forest.
