    These ruins, attributed to the 12th century, indicate that it was a former fishing village devoted to the seasonal exploitation of marine resources, in conjunction with agriculture and pastoralism. From this rocky promontory, the view of the adjoining beaches is spectacular.

      It's only a short detour from the Fisherman's Path to the ruins. It's fascinating to imagine how people lived here in the 12th century, so close to the Atlantic, in small stone houses. Pure history!
