- It’s very popular with birdwatchers because it’s at the mouth of a river /
some dunesand there’s a lot of wetland /cratersthat attract birds. - There’s a very narrow / steep ridge leading up to the main peak and the views are breathtaking / stunning – if you’re not too scared to look down!
- We sometimes gather mushrooms in the woodland near us, but you have to be careful not to stray from /
stick tothe paths as it’s so thick / dense you can easily get lost. - It’s miles from civilisation, really. You just drive along these dirt roads / tracks across these huge flat / rolling plains. And it’s all pretty
lush/ barren – just brown grassland. - It’s a mecca for climbers because there are these amazing sheer / jagged cliffs on either side of the valley / gorge. I saw quite a few people climbing without ropes. They must be nuts.
- The road winds along the coastal cliffs and there are these little coves where you can scramble down to sandy / rocky beaches and have a dip. The water’s amazing – crystal clear /
very murky.
