To the north-west of Espargos, a grotto enables you to catch a glimpse of a very light and clear turquoise blue sea. This is an ideal place for diving enthusiasts. Close by, a natural swimming pool allows you to bathe and benefit from the site. Be careful, sometimes this place is dangerous due to strong waves crashing on the volcanic reefs. There is an impressive mirage a few miles from there, which offers a striking and misleading sight. This could be one of the most beautiful mirages, and for those who would have walked for days and days in the desert, the illusion is perfect, however, they would be very disappointed not to find a drop of water or coolness.
