Algar Seco

Limestone rock formations, in which you can see shells embedded, shaped by water infiltrations streams from the surface and then threw the rocks to the sea plus the sea itself. Lovely board walk to enjoy the views. If we had a longer and it was a calm day, would take the "cave tour" (30E) to the grotto nearby but we got down by steps to very close to the waters edge. The restaurant down below with its charcoal grill would have been nice to try had we had another day.
