Apparently <strong>on a clear day, you can see up to 30 Kilometres<\/strong>!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This gigantic 600-ton structure has been aptly named the <strong>\u2018Mirador Princess\u2019<\/strong> and is, apparently, the largest transportable attraction in Europe! Yes, you read that right, the new ferris wheel can be moved from city to city. It took 25 trailers to transport the wheel from its previous location in Andorra and just 2 weeks to put together! For the moment, the port authority has issued the operating company an eight month operating license, although this is renewable.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Mirador Princess\u2019 is <strong>equipped with 42 glass cabins, all fully air-conditioned and comfortably seating up to 8 people<\/strong>. The cabins are also decorated with LED lights which make the attraction even more impressive as night falls.<\/p>\n<p>A trip lasts approximately 15 minutes which allows for 3 full turns of the wheel; plenty of time to get some gob-smacking photos or video of M\u00e1laga from above.<\/p>\n<p>To give you an idea of what to expect, we\u2019ve embedded a video below. As you\u2019ll see, the views really are unbelievable!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1fPCC6bM1xg?rel=0\" width=\"495\" height=\"280\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Open every day from 11am to midnight, the new ferris wheel is also <strong>suitable for disabled people<\/strong>.
