PUNTA DE TRALCA

Punta Tralca is worth a visit if you want to see something different than dark conglomerate and sandy holes. Often the sea is heavy and the rocks become wet. There is a number of interesting cracks, but in general, the place will not keep you in action for more than a day.  Camping not recommended, take rooms in the nearby towns.
