NATIONAL MARITIME-TERRESTRIAL PARK
You can't help but be moved: when you see a sea that has two faces, when you learn how life has adapted to the presence of the ocean, when you discover the natural value, history and customs of the ancient inhabitants of these islands. These small territories are full of treasures.
