"The road is narrow and challenging — don’t be surprised if you need to reverse for hundreds of meters. But once you arrive, it feels like stepping back in time. Absolutely beautiful."
Juan Algar
"scenic drive, but dangerous curves – often only one car fits, and locals drive like it’s a race. be patient. no sand, no shade, almost no parking – plan accordingly. water is deep blue with a good temperature and mountain views. restaurants nearby. no music, no crowds. great spot for sunset if you’re willing to wait – the sun sets over the sea here."
