The boat slips from Garrucha’s small port and the town’s white houses recede against the low flank of the Sierra Cabrera. The Mediterranean opens, its clear water daring you toward rocky headlands and quiet coves; the rhythm of the hull sets the pace — unhurried, deliberate, easy.

Conservation
The coast supports posidonia seagrass and nesting seabirds; minimize impact by using reef-safe products, avoiding anchoring on seagrass, and packing out trash.
