La Caleta Beach

It is one of the most beautiful northern beaches, and the one with the best installations. The Macondo Restaurant, the small chapel in honor of the Virgin that was erected by the fishermen of the area, a picnic and barbecue area, bathrooms and parking make this beach an ideal place to spend the day. It is far from the habitual touristic routes, and it is a small landscape jewel where you can relax. It is also located in the hiking route of the northern coast, with many renovated paths that are becoming more and more popular thanks to the impressive views they offer.

The Macondo Restaurant has a magnificent cuisine that will help you get through the day, from the traditional “barraquito” (original recipe of coffee with milk, condensed milk, liquor, lemon peel and cinnamon), to the immense dishes of pasta or grilled fish.

You arrive to this beach by car and through a narrow but paved road. It is about 5 km away from Hermigua. It has a parking lot and then you go down through a staircase. It has black and rocky sand, isolated. It is also open to nudism.

I wouldn’t say that it has calm waters, although that is what the internet says. Maybe I’m a scaredy cat or maybe the people who wrote it had a good day. There you will find a chapel dedicated to St. John and a restaurant to eat beneath the trees. It is a nice place. It is not very frequented on winter.
