The Beach at Ballota: This is a totally
natural beach, in the shape of a shell. It is 350 metres in length
and located close to Cué. There are spectacular panoramic
views to be had from the look out point of the Mirador de la Boriza,
immediately above the beach. Also nearby is the Bufón de
Ballota. At high tide or in rough seas, sea water shoots up through
this crack in the cliffs, tens of metres into the air, making a
spectacular sight.
