BLUE CAVE
Read moreBefore visiting the cave, you can go down the cliff-flower stairs, which leave the road in the signposts and allow you to admire the views and entrance of the caves. Just above the cave, a large parking lot, some restaurants and more and more beach bazaars are waiting for the tourist. A beautiful stone terrace with carved balcony (the th century) offers an ideal point of observation on the sea. Walk down on the rocks below, where you can sunbathe. In winter, the descent is less advisable, first because of the cold, but above all because of possible tempête that can prove dangerous.
The first of the caves is The Cat's Cave (the Chat Cave). Its water, transparent and shallow (5 m), leaves the rock bottom and the algae.
The second cave, the Reflection Cave, is named because water reflects phosphorus, as shown by the following small experiment: plunge your hand into the water near Reflection Cave and watch it immediately after removing it; It will have taken a very unusual blue tint (unless you are a Smurf!). The entrance of the Blue Grotto evokes an elephant with its shaded trompe and opens up another cliff. At the bottom of the water, the red corals contrast beautifully with the blue of the sea.
The next cave is La Rotunda (the Rotunda), because its rounded ceiling resembles the dome of the famous church of Mosta. Here, unlike other caves, the bottom of the water is sandy. Later, the rock, in height, evokes a horse hoof. In the past, the guides enjoyed visiting this site to the French, because one of the rocks looked, from a certain angle, to De Gaulle's nose. Today, however, "De Gaulle's nose" is less known to the new generations, and the rock itself eventually eroded. Later, the smooth and gilded walls of another cave evoke those of the recorded.
Finally, the Blue-Window Cave (cave of the Blue Window) allows you to see the azure through its opening.
