Vistas espectaculares al Valle de la Orotava
De este mirador del Lance, yo resaltaría dos cosas: en primer lugar las impresionantes vistas que se tienen del Valle de la Orotava, y de toda la lína de costa norte de Tenerife, pero por otro, la Historia que guarda entre sus piedras y que habla del sacrificio del antiguo Mencey Bentor.
