Very nice view into a very Canary Islands-typical volcanic crater

The building is a jewel designed by César Manrique, the great Canarian architect who dedicated his life to creating organic spaces. At La Peña, Manrique used numerous plants, large windows and masonry ceilings to create a welcoming and fresh atmosphere. Inside, visitors can enjoy the exclusive Mirador de La Peña Restaurant, with its extensive menu of Canarian dishes made with products such as tropical pineapple and the excellent fresh fish produced by this island, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The cliffs of this enormous indentation, 15 kilometers wide and one and a half kilometers high, are covered with dense native vegetation. At its foot lies a volcanic plain with vineyards and fruit trees that ends in the blue Atlantic. From La Peña you can also see the virgin Roques de Salmor, sanctuary of endemic giant lizards.

Currently undergoing renovations, it has good shade and benches to rest.

It no longer holds the record, but what is truly impressive is its location, overlooking the Atlantic from a solitary pier, in front of the mythical Roques de Salmor. It occupies the old customs office and has only four rooms, decorated with shipwreck remains. Music: Chaos - Gunnar Olsen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akTUipMCRJsEl Mirador de El Julan opens to intoxicating panoramic views over the hillside, where we can appreciate its vertiginous slope, which advances in search of the cliff that kisses the Mar de Las Calmas. We observed incipient ravines and scarce vegetation, on a slope of young soils with the La Restinga volcano field blocking our view. It is made up of piles of volcanic materials of intermediate age. The eruptive centers carried out an important mixed activity during the second interval of this series, in such a way that the emitted products superficially covered the entire slope, burying the primitive relief that in some points emerges as islets, and imprinting a particular morphology on the whole. .

This set of rocks are located in front of what is called Punta de Arelmo. The rocks, in the distance, are special because they are far from the coast and present a great diversity of fauna and flora, which is why they are protected.

Good place to rest and have a good coffee.
