Once you have finished the visit to the Centre, continue to travel to some other places of interest in the island, such as El Julan Cultural Park, the volcanic Cueva de Guinea, the Geological Interpretation Centre, el Golfo (The Gulf), la Frontera (The Border), Valverde, San Andrés, el Mirador de las Playas (The Beaches’ Viewpoint).
El Mirador de las Playas is found 1,000 metres over sea level. This geographical feature is made of a bite-shaped gravitational landfall that shows the continuous transformation of the island.
