About this stone

This trail traces the northern coast, renowned for its dramatic coastal views, rugged cliffs, and lush vegetation that create an almost Mars-like landscape. What makes it special is the striking contrast between rough, demanding terrain and the calming presence of the Atlantic Ocean—a combination that produces a uniquely atmospheric experience. The hike culminates near a bar at the end of the official route, where the terrain becomes a jumble of red stones. Among these stones, nestled in their natural chaos, lies a well-hidden penguin waiting to be discovered.
