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).

View of the El Charco Lava Flow
Highlight • Natural Monument
The 1712 eruption is not as famous as Tajuya, San Juan, or the recent Cumbre Vieja eruption in 2021, but it is part of the archipelago's record of volcanic activity that is important to understand the nature and frequency of volcanic eruptions in this region.
The volcanic activity on La Palma is part of the geological activity of the Canary Islands hotspot. Although specific details about the 1712 Charco eruption may not be complete, volcanologists study these historical eruptions to better understand how volcanoes have shaped the island and to predict possible future eruptive events.

I RECOMMEND GOING TO MENDO AND GO DOWN ON ASPHALT.
Don't forget to bring water and sun protection with you, since the trail may present some slopes and uneven terrain that, depending on your level, will force you to get off the bike. IF YOU DECIDE TO GO DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK YOU WILL FIND THE LANDSLIDES AND THEN TO RETURN THE POSITIVE SLOPE IS 14%
