Ye and the Mirador Del Rio walking and hiking route

Walk Instructions

Start along the minor road almost opposite the church in Ye, ‘Calle Vega Chica’, rising quite steeply, with old cultivation terraces to the left. The gradient eases and there are views back over the village to the Montana Corona (611m - 2005ft), the island’s highest volcano. There is cultivation by the roadside, using the ubiquitous picon, and storm water-scoured gullies on either side of the road. The parking area for Mirador del Rio comes into view.

1) Reach the main access road to the Mirador. Go straight across to a dirt roadway. Pass a water tank and continue to rise gently towards the communications building on top of the broad ridge. Pass the remains of a wall on the left; ignore tracks to the left, soon reaching three circular stone structures close to the communications building. From near to the building there are sudden and superb views over a vast expense of coast, including Isla Graciosa and its port Caleta de Seba.

2) Turn sharp left to pass close to a trig point; initially the track towards the Mirador is vague; keep about 50m to the right of the upward route. The track soon becomes more definite. Close to the entrance to the Mirador, the way is barred by substantial gates. Take a little by-passing path to the left to reach the parking area. Turn right here to visit the Mirador.

3) Leave the Mirador parking area, forking right along a minor road which stays close to, but high above, the coast, descending steadily with good views all the way, a fine elevated promenade with very light traffic. As the road descends, pass a cultivated area, with vines and prickly pears. The church at Ye is soon in view. Pass an impressive house on the left and rise gently to join the LZ201 main road.

4) Turn left to return to the church at Ye.
