That place is a sight to behold - the ocean meets the mountains in a stunning display of nature's beauty. Unusual and captivating, it's a place of breathtaking views and tranquility.

Playa Barlovento was the stuff of dreams - until the end, that is, when it was completely deserted. A real paradise... until it was just plain empty.

This location is a peaceful paradise, perfect for unwinding and taking in the beauty of nature. The shoreline is dotted with flotsam, adding a unique charm to the landscape. As the sun sets, the sky is painted with breathtaking hues of orange, pink and purple. It's an unforgettable experience.

This spot is like no other - wild and untamed, with nature at its most pristine. Getting there by car is a long and complicated journey, but it's worth it in the end. You can also take a public bus from Jsndia, which takes 90 minutes. Make sure to bring plenty of food and water, as the experience is one that can't be put into words - you just have to go and experience it for yourself!

This place is anything but pleasant. There are no roads or paths, and the cliffs behind are so tall and imposing. The waves are huge, and the beach is wide, but it's far from the most stunning beach I've ever seen.
