The serpentine and scenic winding road laden with hairpin turns ascends up towards the highest point in Gran Canaria, viewed from the mirador Pico de las Nieves.
It isn’t physically demanding to summit the Peak of the Snows which showcases Morro de la Agujereada standing 6,417 feet tall. All you need to do is get a spot in the small parking lot to be on top of the world, gazing out into the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve which boasts a sea of pines and spine of mountains.
Facing west, the vista makes a phenomenal spot to watch the sunset.
