Belonging to the locality of Haría and exactly situated at the peak of the Famara Cliff at a height of 470m, the Mirador del Río can be found at the place where once was situated the " Batería del Río ", a line of cannons used in the war between Spain and the USA for the sovereignty of Cuba in the 19th century.

From the Mirador we can descry the congeries of islands and isles called the “Archipelago of Chinijo“, being a nature protection area.

To log your entry, you have to take a picture of you and your GPS in the rusty sign.

Hope you enjoy!
