点评:There are quite a few “Mirador” in this mountainous part of the island and it’s no surprise that a bit of confusion has arisen around the names. There are reviews on TA relating to this viewpoint incorrectly listed under “Mirador de Las Penitas” which is a bit closer to the village of Betancuria.
This viewpoint has a sizeable car park area and is recognizable by the large white “entrance gate” to the municipalities which border the landscape - Betancuria and Pajara.
Having travelled along some very steep, winding roads to get here you may just want to get out and admire where you have come from, or what lies ahead. There are some sections of the road which are single carriageway and if you meet anything coming in the opposite direction best to use your judgement as to how you are to progress. If it is a bus or truck I would be inclined to give way but fortunately you can see ahead for quite a bit and you should be able to avoid incidents. In our case we were traveling from Betancuria towards Pajara and therefore had the side of the road nearest “the drop” which had my wife as passenger a bit concerned at times! From the viewpoint it’s possible to look down and see a car wreck which has been there a while and obviously is one which didn’t manage to stay on the road (see photos).
Ignoring the many little chipmunk creatures running around looking for food from visitors, we took a walk across the rugged track to where there are a few rock formations and another very good view. At the time of our visit (December 2023) it was quite cool so the short walk wasn’t a hardship. We’ve done it previously in warmer conditions and that was a bit different - take some water.
翻译:岛上的山区有不少“Mirador”,因此名称出现一些混乱也就不足为奇了。 TA上有关于这一观点的评论被错误地列在距离贝坦库里亚村更近的“Mirador de Las Penitas”下。
这个观景点有一个相当大的停车场面积,可以通过通往与景观接壤的城市贝坦库里亚和帕哈拉的大型白色“入口门”来识别。
沿着一些非常陡峭、蜿蜒的道路到达这里后,您可能只想出去欣赏一下您来自的地方或前方的风景。道路的某些路段是单车道,如果您遇到相反方向的任何东西,最好根据自己的判断来决定如何前进。如果是公共汽车或卡车,我会倾向于让路,但幸运的是,你可以看到前方,应该能够避免事故。在我们的例子中,我们从贝坦库里亚前往帕哈拉,因此路边最接近“下降”,这让我作为乘客的妻子有时有点担心!从这个角度看去,可以看到一辆已经存在了一段时间的汽车残骸,而且显然是一个没能留在路上的汽车残骸(见照片)。
忽略了许多四处寻找游客食物的花栗鼠小动物,我们步行穿过崎岖的小路,到达了一些岩层和另一个非常好的景色的地方。我们访问时(2023 年 12 月)天气非常凉爽,因此短暂的步行并不困难。我们之前在温暖的条件下做过,但有点不同——带一些水。
