Abrante Viewpoint

Panoramic and architectural viewpoint located in Agulo, in the north of La Gomera, on the Abrante cliff at an altitude of 620-625 meters. It sits next to a large cliff, with a vertical drop of nearly 200 meters, and occupies an area of approximately 3,150 square meters, of which a small part corresponds to the visitable structure. It was inaugurated in 2013 and has established itself as one of the most recognizable points of the island. Its distinctive feature is a cantilevered glass walkway, with about seven meters of projection over the void, which allows you to look out with a sense of vertigo to the ravine and the landscape of the valley of Agulo. From the viewpoint you get a very wide view of the town center, the north coast of Gomero and, on clear days, Tenerife and Mount Teide on the horizon. It is interesting for the combination of landscape and contemporary design: it is not only a natural balcony, but a unique work designed to convert the rugged terrain into a visual experience. For this reason it is regularly featured in guides and reports on the most spectacular viewpoints in the Canary Islands and Spain, and has become a tourist icon associated with Agulo. In addition to its scenic value, it serves as a point of interpretation of the territory and a resting place for visitors and hikers. Its importance lies in the direct relationship between architecture, volcanic geography and rural landscape of Gomero, in a very visited enclave and closely linked to the tourist image of the municipality.
