Playa Cristal O Bigaral

Very nice cove. In the middle of the Candas - Luanco Coastal Path, it is well worth going out of the way to visit it. It is shaped like a shell and owes its name “Los Cristales” to the fact that for quite some time an industry (glass factory) dumped glass waste into it, which was fragmented and eroded by the effect of waves and tides, giving rise to an appearance of the crystalline sandy bed. Currently you no longer see glass on this beach; They have disappeared as a result of separate marine storms. While the name “El Bigaral” is due to the abundant presence of periwinkles in the area. Very close you can see the remains of the machinery that was formerly used for the extraction of the ocle. As for services, it lacks any type of service.

"Beach" suitable for contemplating its beauty from the coastal level. Bathing in it... is another story.

Difficult access and sports shoes necessary due to the rocks but it is well worth it if you want peace of mind

It does not shine, the crystals are absent because people took them in sacks according to the locals to put in the aquariums or the few that remained were swallowed up by the sea and its storms.

THERE ARE NO GLASS anymore. The one with the crystals was the one next door, but they have taken them all away by the bucketful. Otherwise the place is nice and with good views, but a bit difficult to get to. A Like is appreciated 👍
