The Mirador del Balcón looks out over the GC-200 road on the west coast of Gran Canaria, where the tarmac runs sheer above the ocean. From here you take in a deeply jagged coastline, known as the Dragon's Tail, that seems to plunge into the sea. It is one of the most striking viewpoints in the Canary Islands.
