is a set of fascinating rock formations in the village of Carvoeiro. Erosion and the sea have created natural pools, caves, and openings in the rocks that are authentic natural windows and balconies overlooking the sea.

The limestone cliffs are full of fossils of marine life over 24 million years old, but all the attention is drawn to the landscape.
