You can reach them from the footpath along the top of the cliff. It’s about 5 minutes walking southwards from the mirador El Bosquecillo.

Some scrambling over rocks and a little slippy on the gravel. A solid 2.5 hour walk up and back with a cracking view from the observation point at the top. Don't just stop on the Famara side. Walk 5 mins across to the other side of the cliffs for another...
