Roques Pedro y Petra
The main natural attraction for tourists is the famous pair of cliffs towering over the town centre.
The rocks are named Roques Pedro y Petra. According to legend, they are the petrified lovers Petra and Pedro, who were struck by lightning while embracing each other, separated and petrified for eternity.
The rocks are best viewed from the road at El Corralete (see map) or from the hiking trail heading up the valley to El Cedro.
Discover the quiet corners
The centre of the village is very hilly and contains about 3 narrow streets, mostly made up of staircases.
Take a short walk through Hermigua, discover the quiet corners where time has stood still and end your journey through the village at the main road where you will find a small monastery and breathtaking views of the valley.
