Sightseeing
Stunning, Breathtaking and Unforgettable place. Learn about the history and you will be in awe. Take a horse back ride and watch as the wild horses run by on the cliffs. Hike down to the black sand beaches... You will never forget this location, however we recommend that you go with a tour. The roads are extremely steep and narrow and not for the faint hearted.
