Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the absolutely stunning, breathtaking views at Mirador del Fin del Mundo, calling it a must-visit for its panoramic vistas. However, many caution that the road to access the viewpoint can be challenging, steep, and windy, with some recommending a safer route via Paulenca.
"Amazing views, but the way to get here is crazy ! As i seen one comment, " Google maps will drive you to death." In my opinion, beter take a longer but safer route through Paulenca. Good spot for campers if you want silent night."
Benas Lapunas
"An excellent viewpoint with stunning scenery! Absolutely worth a visit if you’re nearby.
I don’t know what all the reviews saying treacherous, bad, or “adventurous” roads are talking about. All the roads there are perfectly fine. The road from Paulenca is about 3km of dirt road and a very easy drive. The road from Beas de Gaudix is a paved (albeit steep) road, which has room to pass oncoming vehicles if needed for most of the drive up/down.
Also, despite what Google Maps says, you can drive down from the Mirador to Beas de Gaudix."

"“Beautiful viewpoint with breathtaking views, but the road to get there is difficult to access by car and it’s often very windy. Not recommended for people with fear of heights or who dislike adventurous roads.”"

The Journey: An Adventure in Itself
Travelers suggest that while Google Maps can be a useful tool, it might sometimes direct you down more treacherous paths. Therefore, cross-referencing with local advice or using a more robust navigation strategy is advisable. For those with a fear of heights or who prefer a smoother ride, the 'adventurous' aspect of the journey might be a deterrent. However, for those seeking a bit of adrenaline, the drive can be an exciting prelude to the stunning views awaiting them.
It's also worth noting that you can indeed drive down from the Mirador to Beas de Guadix, contrary to what some navigation systems might imply. This flexibility in routes allows visitors to tailor their journey to their comfort level and desired experience.
Capturing the 'End of the World' Views
For the best photographic results, timing is key. Golden hour, encompassing both sunrise and sunset, bathes the landscape in warm, dramatic light, creating stunning opportunities for both landscape and portrait photography.
When composing your shots, be mindful of the steep drops and the often strong winds at this elevation. Safety should always be the priority. While the main viewpoint offers iconic shots, exploring slightly off the beaten path (while remaining safe) can reveal unique perspectives of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Always check local drone regulations if you plan to use aerial photography.
