Hiking

From the route to the Faro del Albir, there is an essential stop: the Cova de la Ballena. This cave, reminiscent of the mouth of this mammal, is formed by the erosion of the sea over the years, humidity, salt and sand, leaving cavities of different sizes. Without a doubt, a unique natural spectacle.

The path is closed at the bottom and it is forbidden to leave the paths in the national park. Definitely a nice place, but not legally accessible at the moment
