Cova de Buda

Just above the extraordinary old quarry known as Atlantis, this cavern is considered sacred by the spiritually inclined. It's home to a remarkable Buddha image said to have been etched by a Japanese hermit.

You can only reach the cave by walking; it's a challenging 30-minute descent southeast from the parking spot near the Torre des Savinar.
