Barranco
★★★★☆
(2,812)
At Barranco you can see almost everything that swims in the Atlantic. The rugged rock face with the split-off rocks form gorges, breakthroughs, and grottos where life thrives. In the southern part is a large sunken buoy around which shoals of fish gather. In the sandy bottom there are rays.
There are many morays at the cleaning stations. The rocks offer shelter to trumpet fish, scorpion fish, octopuses, and countless nudibranchs. Big fish are not uncommon here.
