Agaete Piscina Natural — Attraction in Agaete

Agaete's natural pools – where tranquility meets the symphony of screeching seagulls and the triumphant shouts of self-proclaimed beach overlords. Forget the soothing lull of ocean waves; here, the decibel level rivals a rock concert.

It's as if the instruction manual for beach etiquette got lost in translation, and everyone decided that volume control was just an ancient myth. You'd think they handed out megaphones at the entrance. "Hey, nature, mind if we crank up the human volume to 11?"

As I attempted to commune with the serenity of the tide, it was like sharing the water with a cast of wannabe movie stars auditioning for a remake of "Baywatch: The Boisterous Edition." Forget mindfulness; these beachgoers were on a mission to break the sound barrier.

So drive carefully. Parking is easy, and the trip is...
