When you reach Artenara, the highest village in Gran Canaria, you understand why it's called the summit of the island. And if you're looking for the exact spot where the horizon opens completely, that place is the Mirador de Los Poetas. Here, at nearly 1,300 meters above sea level, the landscape speaks for itself: mountains plunging towards the sea, ravines carved by centuries of erosion, and on clear days, the unmistakable silhouettes of Roque Nublo and Teide rising against the sky.

The viewpoint owes its name to a sculpture created by the Luján Pérez School, accompanied by plaques that pay tribute to poetic expression. It's a perfect spot to pause at sunset, when the light turns golden and the silence of the summit invites contemplation. But it's also a starting point for hiking trails connecting caves, chapels, and other hidden viewpoints within the Gran Canaria Biosphere Reserve.

Accessible 24 hours a day, the site is also a nighttime refuge for those seeking to stargaze far from light pollution. From here, the island reveals itself as those who live it truly feel: immense, vertical, and full of life.
