Fariones

★★★★★ (957)

This underwater cliff stands out amongst the rest of those in Playa Grande for its depth and height of its walls. In addition, the rocks next to the Fariones millstone are a true aquarium, also ideal for snorkeling and easy safety stops.

The underwater cliffs of Puerto del Carmen are a perfect place to observe the passage of migratory species such as tunas, bonitos, amberjacks, and wahoo.
