Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the stunning, peaceful views from Mirador de Malpaso, often calling it a 'gem' and an 'architectural marvel.' The unique 'Valley of a Thousand Palms' is a highlight, offering a dramatic contrast to Lanzarote's volcanic terrain.

"What a beautiful peaceful viewing spot.
I visited on a windy day but didn’t feel in the least unsafe , in fact the wind sound added to the drama . It was free to use clean. The guy looking after the place was charming and polite.
The only slight problem was getting in and out of the car park. Some drivers might struggle with a large car.
I loved the Valle de Malpaso Haria and would love to return on sunnier day."

"A gem! Not easy to find as we literally came across it, and not many parking spaces (4 cars max) and we were lucky as it wasn't busy. And what a view! You do need a head for heights but its well worth it."
Jon Powell
"Amazing place, very hard to find, do not mistake it with Mirador rincon Haria, with is on a very very bad road. This one is in the middle of serpentines, only with 4 parking places! Nice new, picturesque."
