With Magnificent Installations
It is one of the most beautiful northern beaches, and the one with the best installations. The Macondo Restaurant, the small chapel in honor of the Virgin that was erected by the fishermen of the area, a picnic and barbecue area, bathrooms and parking make this beach an ideal place to spend the day. It is far from the habitual touristic routes, and it is a small landscape jewel where you can relax. It is also located in the hiking route of the northern coast, with many renovated paths that are becoming more and more popular thanks to the impressive views they offer.
The Macondo Restaurant has a magnificent cuisine that will help you get through the day, from the traditional “barraquito” (original recipe of coffee with milk, condensed milk, liquor, lemon peel and cinnamon), to the immense dishes of pasta or grilled fish.
Only 15 minutes away from Hermigua, the beach is usually empty, except on August, but it never gets too crowded. The environment is relatively arid, which contrasts with the usual exuberance of the region, and we can observe the beauty of the volcanic rock in the mountains and cliffs.
You mustn’t get frustrated if the weather appears to be bad, since the trade winds make the clouds pass with incredible speed. Be careful with the road, since some parts are very narrow, and make it difficult for two cars to pass at the same time, and the drivers have to quickly agree who goes first. This is normal for the local people, but for someone who is not used to these kinds of roads, it sometimes feels like a mission impossible. In this case, always follow the other car’s instructions.
