A sad story is attached to the name of this very
remote and pretty beach. Centuries ago, an unfortunate "fat girl" from
Venezuela was abandoned here by some buccaneers, and forced to sell herself to
survive. Today there is only a simple hotel, catering to divers and of course a
Guardia office. The sea is incredibly blue as I hope this picture shows. We are
planning a snorkelling expedition tomorrow - which should be
amazing
