Viewpoint west of Orzola with a small path to get to the Salinas at the foot of the cliff
Located to the west of Orzola, Mirador del Río can be reached from the LZ-10 road to Haría, and towers 480 m above Punta de Farlones (the island's northernmost point). It is a restaurant-mirador designed by César Manrique in 1974. The view plunges down to La Graciosa and stretches out into the distance to the other two islets in the north of Lanzarote: Montaña Clara and Alegranza. It was built on top of the Atalaya Grande, which was later renamed Bateria del Río. Once a military artillery base, the Bateria del Río was used by lookouts to control pirate invasions of the island. A short path leads to the Salinas at the foot of the cliff. After that, it's just a matter of climbing back up, so be brave!

Sommet venteux, balade possible... à voir pour la beauté de ses yeux !
On peut toutefois avoir une belle vue de la Graciosa et d'une bonne partie de Lanzarote dans les environs du site sans acquitter du droit d'entrée.
L'ile de Graciosa nous apparaît dans toute sa longueur.
Fantastique ce paysage, on se croirait sur la lune!
Pas utile de rentrer dans le Mirador, la vue est aussi saisissante depuis le parking. Encore plus beau en fin de journée.
