Piraguismo - Rocking

At last! The sea was calm enough to go rocking. This is navigating between the numerous rocks that have fallen into the sea along the Nerja/Maro coastline over the years. Great fun!


Entering the cave

The first stop on the route is a trip to the cave. This is just beyond Burriana beach. There is a large cavern on the left-hand side. We went exploring those caves earlier with the Piraguismo club. The cave on the right is large enough to enter by boat. The light entering the cave from an underground entrance turns the sea a stunning blue.


Inside the cave

After the caves it is the start of the rocking course. Monica had done this before with the club so she took the lead. The sea was not only calm but crystal clear. Excellent for spotting the pesky rocks just under the sea level. Hitting one of those with the kayak can be a bit frightening!

The ultimate rocking point - the tunnel

Monica showed me the tunnel. It a beautiful cove made from the rocks in the sea. At the far end is the tunnel. It is apparently passable by leaning back and pushing yourself along with your hands against the rock. Monica has done this before. However, as there was only the two of us, we thought it best not to take it on today. Thank god for that!
