Questions & Answers about La vista desde allí es alucinante.

How would I change this sentence to say "What an amazing view from there!" using the grammar from this lesson?
You would say ¡Qué vista tan alucinante desde allí! or ¡Qué vista más alucinante desde allí!. Remember the structure: qué + noun (vista) + tan or más + adjective (alucinante).
The word alucinante looks like it means "hallucinating." Is that right?
It is related to the verb alucinar (to hallucinate), but in everyday speech in Spain, alucinante simply means amazing, mind-blowing, or incredible. It is a very common way to express that something is extremely impressive.
Why do we use es instead of está? Can't a view change depending on the weather?
Even though the weather changes, the view itself is considered a built-in characteristic of that location. Because we are describing a fundamental quality of the place rather than a temporary state, we use ser (es) instead of estar (está).
Could I say de allí instead of desde allí?
Using desde allí is much better here because desde strongly emphasizes the physical vantage point (looking outward from that exact spot). De allí is mostly used to talk about origin, like saying where someone was born or what town they belong to.
