Mirador La Paz is a public viewpoint above the Martiánez Cliffs in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Look out over the Atlantic, Playa de Martiánez and the Lago Martiánez pools, with the city’s rooftops below. On a clear day, La Palma may appear on the horizon. Paths run along the rocky edge, and nearby landmarks include a bust of Agatha Christie and San Amaro Church, which dates to 1591. Sunset is a good time to take in the coastal views.
