Muraig - smuggler beach with underwater caves

Cala de Muraig was once a nest for smugglers. It is easy to understand when you see how difficult it is to access this place. Even when you lean out over the ditch 100 meters above the beach, you don't get a complete overview. Today it is a holiday paradise. The underwater caves are a mecca for divers. The beach faces south-east and is shadowed in the afternoons for large parts of the year. Thus, morning and noon is best for sunbath. From the top of the cliff you only see par
