One of the oldest laurel forests in Europe. Trees that are centuries old, their trunks wrapped in moss, their canopies blocking the sky. On most mornings, fog comes in from the north coast and fills the gaps between the trees.
It is best at sunrise. The light comes in horizontal, breaking through the fog in columns. By 10am it is gone. Sessions here start early: 6:30 to 7:00am depending on the season.
