Mirador Lomo de La Cancela sits in Barlovento, on the northeastern coast of La Palma, in an area shaped by steep volcanic cliffs. From here you overlook a wide stretch of rugged coastline, with slopes of vegetation meeting the open Atlantic below.

Reaching the viewpoint from the center of Barlovento involves a steep, narrow road that winds through a traditional village setting, past stone houses and small gardens. The approach requires careful driving, but it also gives you a sense of the rural character of this corner of the island. La Cancela is a small hillside neighborhood perched on a ridge facing the sea.

The viewpoint provides an open perspective over the northeastern coast of La Palma, a section marked by cliffs, offshore rock formations, and lush green hillsides. It's a useful spot to understand the topography of this less-traveled part of the island.
