August 11, 2023,La Palma - Piratenbucht
Today I did a mini round to the pirate bay at Tijarafe.
The small bay was great and I went for a swim to cool down in the extreme temperatures.

From the town of Tijarafe, a very, very steep coastal road in the direction of Poris de Candelaria (3.5 km). Parked the rental car in a parking lot and descended on foot in the direction of Poris de Candelaria (smugglers' bay).

A dreamy tour! The absolute highlight!

The very narrow road descends at a gradient of over 30% in places, winding through the landscape, rocks, volcanic rocks, slopes, cacti...and at the very bottom, you arrive in a fairytale world: a pirate's den!

No further comments! Just come and be amazed!

Life is beautiful!
