The travel to this fishing village was possible either by boat or foot until the year 1960. A tunnel was made to solve this problem and at preset road journey is possible through this tunnel. But the new road has lots of winds, twist and turns, thereby making the journey somewhat difficult. This effort has facilitated traveling to this little but beautiful village. It has steep mountain slopes that descend from the mountains – Anaga – to the Atlantic Ocean. The small village square is next to the parish church which you could explore. Two most important things in this place are - Cultural Centre Parranda and Malvasia wine.
