Arico

EL PORÍS DE ABONA

The Arico coast has several settlements and some interesting beaches, like the stretch of coast called El Porís de Abona, although there is often a wind.

The coastal village of Porís de Abona can be reached from the road from the TF-1 motorway. There is a small harbour where you can have a relatively comfortable dip.

There is a track from Porís that goes south along the coast, which takes you to Playa de la Punta, or Playa Grande, about 1.5 Km away, near a fishing hamlet. It is a sandy beach which is excellent when there is no wind.

From there, you can reach the nearby Abona lighthouse and, following the coastal path, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the sandy beach of Playa de Los Cardones.

A few minute further on, you get to Los Abriguitos beach, also sandy.
Somewhat further south, you find the fishing villages of Los Abades and San Miguel de Tajao.
