Mirador del Rio

An observation deck, cafe and cultural center designed on a cliff at an altitude of 475 meters by César Manrique. The unusual structure was built in 1971-1973 inside the volcanic cliff. From above, the place looks like this, and without parking lot it's even not clear where the structure is.




From the entrance, the building is already more visible.

The observation deck offers extremely scenic views of the Chinijo Archipelago and its largest island, La Graciosa.






It's worth saying that you can avoid spending money on a ticket and see the same views just by walking a little further down the road, for example here 29.212375, -13.483699.
