here there is the absolutely fantastic "perforated" wall through which you can look, opposite this you have a wonderful view of a grandiose gorge!

The hike from El Jesus goes into this fantastic gorge where you can admire the perforated rock face, super beautiful 🇪🇦😎🌞🥾

The often so-called “dragon head” (with an impressive nose horn) is a landmark of Tijarafe:
The hiking trail essentially leads through its mouth - you can see the (almost) white "teeth" and the black sooty "lips" (from breathing fire?): The goatherds used to light their campfire in the cave in the evening.
You can see the sea from the street through the "eye" (the famous hole in the rock): if the dragon is blue-eyed, the weather is good.. ;)
