Mirador del Río, Viewpoint in Haría, Spain.
The Mirador del Río stands 479 meters above sea level on the Risco de Famara cliffs, overlooking the Chinijo Archipelago and La Graciosa island.
César Manrique designed this observation center in 1973, integrating the structure into the volcanic rock to preserve the natural landscape of northern Lanzarote.
The building contains exhibits of traditional Canarian ceramics and metal sculptures, including a prominent piece representing the elements of water and air.
The observation center operates from 10:00 to 18:45 during summer months and from 10:00 to 17:45 in winter, with complete wheelchair accessibility.
The structure features two curved windows carved into the cliff face, providing views of the strait known as El Río between Lanzarote and La Graciosa.
