Mirador de Abrante

Today we had an awesome clear view, so we went to the Anbrante viewpoint.

At first glance, Abrante looks like an ordinary viewing platform. However, at the top of the cliff in the north of La Gomera where it is located, visitors do not look down into the precipice, but rather 'float' above it. From the end of the viewing platform comes a seven-metre-long cantilever with a glass floor, which keeps anyone brave enough to walk on it suspended in the air, contemplating a typical rural landscape of the Canary Islands.

Four hundred metres below, and in the absence of clouds, you can see the small valley of Agulo, with its clusters of houses and agricultural terraces, wedged between almost vertical cliffs and open to the Atlantic Ocean. In the distance, you can see Tenerife.

The view from Agulo down there up to Abrate is also very interesting because then you can see how far the cantilever extends into nothingness 😱.Read more
