    Hiking

    "El arrecife de las sirenas", in English: the reef of the sirens, is a famous place located in the natural park of Cabo de Gata.

    This place is so called because it is said that before, these volcanic rocks were so populated with seals, that the sailors confused their cries with the songs of sirens.
