Directions to El Mirador
The main mirador (viewpoint) in town, with a great view out over all of San Miguel. It’s especially good at sunset. There are usually vendors selling souvenirs and snacks. It’s only a short walk downhill from here to the Mirador Parroquia, so you should definitely check out both.
