Rabo de Asno
★★★★☆
(210)
Sought after dive-spot in Farilhões. The rock of “Rabo-de-Asno” is covered in gorgonians and nudibranchs to admire. You can descend to 30m. At the bottom, a wide sinuous cave goes through the entire rock. Exploring the cave, with flashlights, allows you to see gorgonians and other marine life from wall to ceiling.
Beware of contact with scorpion fish and sea urchins. Lots of colorful nudibranchs and gorgonians.
