The view is stunning and well worth going to see the islands off the coast but dont pay to go in to the cafe/ viewing area you can see exactly the same view by walking to the side of the building total rip off charging people to look at a view you can see for free a few steps away More

El Mirador del Rio is a bar with a very scenic view on the Graciosa island and channel (rio) separating it from Lanzarote. The terrace is on top of a hill about 500 m over the sea.

We went to see this as part of the North Lanzarote tour so the entrance fee was included in the price. There are great views from here and it's another well designed look out by Cesar Manrique. If you've hired a car then you can probably get the view without paying to go into building. More

No doubt that this is beautiful place but to charge an entrance fee for what is fundamentally a cafe is a burn! Just walk up the hill a little if you want to see the view!!!! More

The spectacular view can be enjoyed without paying the rip-off price of €4.50 per adult. Walk down the road along the cliff tops and it costs nothing! The centre has a café and gift shop where you are invited to spend even more money. Nice little earner, this one. More
