Ancient Laurel Forest with Sea View

Short walk with a magnificent view. A wonderful excursion for the whole family.

Furado actually means "pierced" – and indeed, many tunnels were supposed to be built along this water channel. However, the rock was so brittle that the work was stopped after only a few breakthroughs. But who would want to walk through a tunnel when instead they can enjoy such a view and stroll through thick, ancient laurel forest?
