Mirador de Alojera

Every time I drive to Valle Gran Rey, I pass by here. I've never stopped before, but this time I did.

From this mirador you can see Ajojera, where I live. The viewpoint is located west of Garajonay National Park.

From the viewing platform you can look down into the valley of Alojera and the town. As you can see, the town is in the middle of a rocky hilly landscape. The gorge is surrounded by rock walls that fall steeply into the sea. On the coastal section directly below the town is the Playa de Alojera.

If you look further into the distance, you can see the neighboring islands of El Hierro and La Palma.Read more
