The crack in Dona Beja

If you have a car, drive down the road until the landscape looks like something from another planet. Porto dos Frades is the starting point for an adventure that has seduced people of all sizes and Praia dos Burros is the route to the small entrance in the crevice between two cliffs. Discover it as hundreds of tourists have done in recent years, exploring its interior, in the deepest and most mysterious curves of the island. You'll feel too small looking down at the cliffs, which in some areas reach ten metres. But you'll want to get to know every centimetre of the tiny space where your feet explore the treasure hidden until now.

The sand expands down the slope towards the sea, but it also rises on the walls, which seem to narrow into labyrinths out of a child's tale. Be sure to explore one of the island's newest tourist attractions.
