Mirador Los Giles

Mirador Los Giles sits in one of the highest neighbourhoods of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, offering sweeping views over the city and the Atlantic Ocean. This viewpoint, accessible 24 hours a day, has become a regular stop for hikers and those seeking a visual escape after wandering through the streets of the area.

From here, the panorama stretches generously towards the coastline and urban sprawl, making the climb worthwhile, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light plays beautifully with the landscape. It's also a starting or passing point for running and hiking routes that explore the natural surroundings, connecting with trails that wind between ravines and hillsides.

Be prepared for the wind that often blows strongly at this elevated spot—a typical feature of exposed viewpoints on the island. It's an ideal place to pause, breathe fresh air and admire Gran Canaria from a different perspective, perfect for travellers who enjoy blending city and nature into their journey.
