Mirador Cruz del Carmen is a high viewpoint in the Anaga hills, about 920 metres above sea level, with broad views back toward La Laguna and the valley below. It is one of the easiest scenic stops if you are driving from the city into Anaga Rural Park.
The viewpoint is also beside the small Ermita de la Cruz del Carmen, so it is more than a quick lay-by. Weather changes fast here; on cloudy days the stop can feel moody rather than panoramic, but it still marks a good gateway into the forested ridge roads.
