During the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s, it was a favorite destination for the hippies. On the banks of the Grand River there is a large colony of\u00a0Theophrastus palm trees, which give the region a sense of a tropical landscape. The river, forming a small lake, 500m long, before emptying into the sea, has water all year round. You can walk along the river, under the shade of palm trees and other trees, and start ascending in the beautiful canyon. You can swim in the cold ponds formed in the gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big fire in 2010 burnt almost everything of this paradise, but paradoxically the palmgrove recovered most of its damage.&nbsp;At the exit of the river, a sandy beach with pebbles and sand is formed, with sea water being very cool due to the river. In the eastern part of the beach, there is a beautiful rock reminding of a&nbsp;<em>heart<\/em>.
