Mirador del Universo

In the heart of El Pinar, Tijarafe, you'll discover the Mirador del Universo, an ambitious artistic project that uniquely blends art, nature, and astronomy. This singular space stands out for its spectacular floor mosaic, composed of thousands of small colored tiles recreating celestial constellations, created by renowned Canarian artist Luis Morera, a disciple of the legendary César Manrique. Located between the ravines of El Jurado and Los Gomeros, the viewpoint came to life thanks to the generosity of a local family who donated the land to create this meeting point between earth and cosmos.

Although the project is nearly complete, it still awaits the final touch of night lighting that promises to transform it into a magical spectacle under La Palma's starry sky. Visitors particularly appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the spectacular panoramic views over the region, perfect for disconnecting and contemplating the landscape. Access via narrow roads requires caution, but the effort is definitely worthwhile. It's a still little-known gem that local connoisseurs recommend discovering, ideal for lovers of public art and nature.
