Palmasera Beach
Highlight • Beach
This former fishing town has now become mainly a tourist destination thanks to its splendid beach and the numerous caves in the area. There are several small beaches with fine red gravel, a particularly evocative setting in the morning when the sun shines directly on the sand, creating a contrast with the turquoise sea.
