Mirador de Las Playas is a viewpoint above the east coast of El Hierro, surrounded by Canary pine forest. From here, you can look across Las Playas bay and follow the coast from Roque de la Bonanza to Punta Miguel. The higher vantage point gives a different angle from Mirador de Isora, and falcons may be seen in the area. You can reach the viewpoint by car, with parking and toilet facilities nearby.
The view from above Las Playas
From the lookout, the coast runs from Roque de la Bonanza in the east to Punta Miguel in the south. The Parador de las Playas sits below the viewpoint, among the green shade of the pine forest.
Mirador de Isora looks over the same area from a lower elevation. Las Playas gives you a higher, slightly wider view from another angle. Clouds are more likely to cover this lookout, so the coastal panorama can be less clear than at Mirador de Isora.
