Photographer's Note

BURACONA

Buracona is a natural swimming pool enclosed in black lava rock over which white foam falls every few minutes. It is situated on the west side of the island, at 4 km west of Espargos and accessed by the road linking with Palmeira.

It's a great place for diving and swimming. Close by there is the famous 'Blue Eye', an underground naturally formed lagoon, shaped like an eye, reached through a large hole in the ground. When the sunlight hits the right spot, it lights up the underwater cavern in a dazzling display of brilliant turquoise.
