About

A high Anaga ridge viewpoint with broad views when clouds open, limited parking and strong weather dependence.

Time needed: 
10-30 minutes
Entry fee: 
Free access
Transport: 
Car is easiest; bus access exists but timings need checking
Parking: 
Very limited; do not block the loop or road
Weather: 
Fog can erase the view completely
Altitude: 
Around 980 m on the Anaga ridge
Main variable: 
Cloud timing decides whether the viewpoint works

Treat it as a daylight mountain-road stop, even though it is an open-air viewpoint. The reward is visibility: Teide, Santa Cruz, Gran Canaria and Anaga slopes can all appear when the sky opens. Parking is small, turnover is quick and the nearby forest-road photo spot needs care because traffic still uses these roads. Fog is normal here; if the view disappears, wait a little or continue through Anaga rather than forcing the stop.

Useful before you go

This stop can be brilliant, but road time, weather and the order of the day matter more than the pin on the map.

Guest review summary

Commonly mentioned by visitors.

Visitors praise the wide Anaga views, especially when Teide, Santa Cruz or Gran Canaria are visible.

The viewpoint needs no long hike, so it works well as part of a forest-road drive.

The mossy road and laurel forest nearby give the stop a stronger Anaga atmosphere than a simple lookout.

Fog can remove the view completely, sometimes within minutes.

Parking is limited and photo stops can pressure a narrow mountain-road environment.

It is a short stop, so weather and visibility decide whether it feels worthwhile.

A recent review summed up the key condition: the view is very good if you are lucky with visibility.

Cloud Is The Visit

This viewpoint can be brilliant or blank in the same hour. Build flexibility into the Anaga drive.

The Road Photo Needs Care

The mossy old road is popular online, but it is still a road environment. Do not block traffic for photos.

Q&A (6)

What can I see from Pico del Inglés?

In clear weather, you can see Anaga ridges, Santa Cruz, Teide and sometimes Gran Canaria or La Palma in the distance.

Was this answer helpful?
Is it worth going in fog?

For views, no. Fog is common on the ridge, so wait briefly or continue to another Anaga stop if the cloud is settled.

Was this answer helpful?
Can I visit without hiking?

Yes. It is a roadside viewpoint with a short access path, so it works as part of an Anaga driving route.

Was this answer helpful?
Is there public transport?

There is bus access on the Anaga side, but check current TITSA routing and timings before relying on it for a short stop.

Was this answer helpful?
Can I start a hike here?

Yes, the PR-TF2 route passes near Pico del Inglés. Treat it as a real Anaga hike, not a casual viewpoint extension.

Was this answer helpful?
What is the main practical risk?

Fog and parking. Visibility can disappear quickly, and the road loop must stay clear for traffic and cyclists.
