    Come and listen to the long lament of those condemned to Hell when the sea is raging and rushes into the breach...

    Cova de s’Infern - Under the Cap de Creus lighthouse, we find a geographical accident formed by the erosion of the sea on the rock, which is both a gift for the landscape and a curious element. The Cova de l'Infern or de s'Infern, is a sea cave, a passageway or tunnel, since it is open to the sea on two sides, which offers an impressive picture, as its name, which seems to be due to the reddish color in which the water inside it becomes with the first rays of the dawn sun, simulating a “door to hell”.

    La Cova de s'Infern (Hell's Cave) is the name by which this natural passageway or tunnel is known (since it is open to the sea on two sides), which offers an impressive picture.
    They gave it this name due to the reddish color in which the water inside it turns with the first rays of the sun at dawn, simulating a "door to hell".
