This is an incredible place where mountains and sea are combined, very beautiful views, and the lake is generally something incredible, in the lake you can see seashells, crabs and ducks, the catamaran surprised us with its price of only €10 for two, in general I give this excursion 100/10. Special thanks to the guide, he is very cool
