Barra d’en Mingo

★★★☆☆ (11)

The barra d'en Mingo is a large stone surrounded by other loose rocks, it is a rock that if we are located on the land side is difficult to locate, but located on the sea side is easily seen the unevenness of up to five meters that allows us to search through its cracks and holes.

Being porous rock, it harbors an infinity of life, from large to small crustaceans, opisthobranchs (Swiss cowries, flabellines...), to moray eels that defiantly stroll around.
