Description

It starts from Agaete and leads up to the Mirador de Agaete. Scenically very beautiful, a bit less rewarding from a driving point of view, mostly because of the somewhat old asphalt. Unfortunately it's a dead-end road, so it has to be driven twice in any case.

Included Points of Interest

Mirador de Agaete

A coastal viewpoint over the spectacular meeting of volcanic cliffs and the Atlantic. The harbor of **Puerto de las Nieves** is visible below — a working port where the ferries to Tenerife set off. On clear days the cone of Teide dominates the horizon, rising above the clouds to the West. The mirador is small and quick to visit — right on the main road, no hike required. It pairs naturally with a stop at Puerto de las Nieves just a little further down. An almost effortless addition to any route for those coming to visit Agaete. The **GC-231** road that leads here is a touch narrow, but fun and with sea views: the mirador gives you a moment to take in the panorama of the cliffs before dropping down to the port.
