    A well-known whale watching point. There are plenty of parking spaces. So also easy to reach by car.

    Spectacular viewpoint that provides a unique view of the coast. From here you can see the cliffs as far as Mosteiros. It was an observation point for whale hunting in the past. Today it is still possible to see them, with luck and suitable conditions.
