Mirador Roque Nublo
★ 4.6 (124 reviews)
Mirador Roque Nublo is one of those places that makes you understand why Gran Canaria is called a continent in miniature. Located in the heart of the island, this spectacular viewpoint puts you face to face with the iconic Roque Nublo, that 80-meter volcanic monolith rising defiantly 1,813 meters above sea level. The best part is that access is completely free and open 24 hours, allowing you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset views.
The trail to the viewpoint is accessible to all audiences, with approximately an hour's walk at a leisurely pace that rewards every step with breathtaking panoramic views. On clear days, you can even spot Tenerife's Teide in the distance. This place was sacred to the ancient Canarian aborigines, and when you're there you'll feel that special energy it gives off. Beloved by locals and visitors alike, Mirador Roque Nublo represents the essence of Canarian hiking: pristine nature, spectacular views and free access for everyone.
