Farilhão da Cova
★★★★☆
(54)
This is an islet decorated with a gorgonian wall with the possibility of cave exploring. With a mainly rocky bottom, it is possible to observe big schools of fish flanking the rock. Usually, big forkbeards and triggerfish defend their lairs in these caves. Noticeably, one of these caves even has a freshwater spring.
