After work drive to the sea to catch the sunset and take a walk the next morning. Weekend well spent!

You can stay in this car park for a whole day for 5 euros, you can park your van right next to the dunes, ideal for waking up in the morning and immediately enjoying the sea! ☀️

There are numerous places to stop for refreshments to suit every taste and the works of art are the highlights.
