Spain attracted more than eighty million tourists for endless reasons: for its culture, for its history, for its gastronomy, for its museums… And, of course, also for its landscapes, as varied as they are beautiful. In that sense, in addition to entering these wonderful settings, there are many people who are looking for a place to enjoy calmly (and with perspective) admiring some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. In this sense, Civitatis, the leading company in the sale of guided tours, excursions and free tours in Spanish throughout the world, has prepared a list with the 10 most spectacular viewpoints in Spain, arranged in strategic places to enjoy panoramic views hard to forget.
1. Viewpoint of La Antigua in the Melero Meander (Cáceres)
The Melero Meander is a whim of nature formed by the Alagón River, on the border between Extremadura and Castilla y León. Despite the fact that both autonomous communities share this natural treasure, the best place to admire it in all its splendor is from the Cáceres side, specifically from the La Antigua viewpoint, a few kilometers from the town of Riomalo de Abajo.
2. Source Dé Cable viewpoint (Cantabria)
This splendid viewpoint can be accessed by going up on the famous Fuente Dé cable car, since it is located at its upper station. From a height of 1,850 meters you can see a dreamlike view of the central part of the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian Mountains. A natural paradise in Cantabria that deserves to be on the list of the most spectacular viewpoints in Spain.
3. Fitu viewpoint (Asturias)
From this curious concrete platform that rises above the Alto de la Cruz de Llamas you can get a magnificent 360º panoramic view of some of the most unique landscapes in Asturias: the Picos de Europa National Park, the Ponga Park or even the coastal town of Ribadesella. It is a real sin to leave the Asturian region without stopping at the spectacular Mirador del Fitu, which is easily accessible by car.
4. Es Colomer viewpoint (Majorca)
Also called Sa Creueta, but better known as Es Colomer, it is one of the most spectacular viewpoints not only in Mallorca but in all of Spain.

An unbeatable view of the Alhambra, in a place where there are often musicians playing and that transmits the best of Andalusian culture.
9. Gypsy Falls viewpoint (Cáceres)
Located in the Monfragüe National Park, in Cáceres, the curious name of this viewpoint is due to an Extremaduran legend. In it, a gypsy bandit was being chased by the Benemérita until he reached Peña Falcón, the highest peak, and from there he jumped over the Tagus River to the other bank of the river to escape from the civil guards. These would be so petrified because of this feat, that one of them turned to stone.
Fables aside, this place is also very popular with bird watchers. From it it is possible to observe various species of protected birds in the park, such as the griffon vulture.
10. Viewpoint of the Valley (Toledo)
The viewpoint of the Valley is a mandatory stop for all groups of tourists who visit Toledo. Why? Well, because it is undoubtedly the best view of this city. The panoramic view of Toledo over the Tagus River from this point is overwhelming: the cathedral, the Alcázar, the walls… It is located a few kilometers from the historic center of Toledo, in the middle of a narrow stretch of road always full of cars and buses with visitors. eager to portray their beautiful views with their cameras.
