Llano del Jable Astronomical Viewpoint
Highlight • Viewpoint
But the Mirador is also worth a visit at night as an astronomical viewpoint. Due to its remote location and the height above the sea, it offers very good conditions for stargazing.
Thanks to the generous parking facilities, the viewpoint is also a good starting point for hikes (e.g. to the nearby volcanic peaks of Pico Birigoyo or the Bernardino volcano).
