Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: This pebbly shoreline sits right where the Sierra de Bernia mountains tumble into the Mediterranean, creating a dramatic contrast of grey stones against turquoise water. Unlike the sandy beaches nearby, the smooth pebbles here make the water crystal clear with no sediment stirring up, even on windy days.
Kohokohdat: At the western end of the beach, a natural spring seeps through the rocks, creating a small freshwater pool that mixes with the sea at high tide. Locals know to scoop handfuls of the smooth cap negret pebbles, which were historically used as ballast for trading ships heading to North Africa.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Arrive by 10am in summer to claim a spot near the freshwater spring at the western end, the most interesting swimming area.
- Wear water shoes or aqua socks: the smooth pebbles can be surprisingly uncomfortable to walk on, especially getting in and out of the water.
- Park at the free lot near the sports port (Puerto Deportivo) and walk 200 meters east along the promenade instead of fighting for the paid spots right by the beach.
- Bring a pair of binoculars: the clear water makes it easy to spot fish, and you might catch sight of peregrine falcons diving from the cliffs above.

Oletko kuullut ilmaisista kävelykierroksista?
Matkustettuani yli 30 maassa, toivoisin, että joku olisi kertonut minulle tästä alusta alkaen, sillä se muutti täysin tapani kokea uudet kaupungit.
Ilmaiset kävelykierrokset. Kyllä, oikeasti ilmaiset. Ei luottokorttia. Ei piilokuluja.
Paikallinen opas, 2-3 tuntia
Tärkeimmät nähtävyydet, piilotetut helmet, paikalliset tarinat
100 % tippi-pohjainen
Oppaat ansaitsevat vain tippien kautta, joten he antavat parastaan
Tipaat sen mukaan, mikä tuntuu oikealta
Lopuksi tipaat sen, minkä koet oikeaksi
Olen tehnyt näitä monissa kaupungeissa ja ne ovat olleet lähes jokaisen matkani kohokohta. Jos vierailet kohteessa Altea, Spain, tee tämä ensimmäisenä päivänä. Kiität minua myöhemmin.
