Description

The initial cave you encounter on the left side of the beach is a stunning cavern adorned with stalactites, offering numerous climbing opportunities. For those looking to build strength, simply traverse the roof in circles. This location features over 20 routes ranging from 6a to 8a, reaching a height of about 14-15m, which is still less daunting than Cova del Diablo.

Approach

There are various methods to reach the climbs based on your sense of adventure: swimming (simple but requires liquid chalk or a dry bag), down climbing one of the easier routes (straightforward yet requires commitment), or tackling the Barques Traverse (a decent easy warm-up, though falls are not allowed in certain areas).

History

There have been jumping incidents at this location, and the legality of this beach remains somewhat ambiguous due to the access being through a locked gate. Nevertheless, during the summer, it consistently attracts hundreds of visitors daily.
