The most well-known thing about Caión is its Virgin of Miracles, and the most visited is surely its beach, but stopping for a little while at the viewpoint is a good idea.

A lighthouse with beautiful views. I especially recommend the sunset, which is spectacular. On either side are the ruins of ancient coastal batteries, now devoid of cannons, but their bases serve as viewing points, although abandoned and in poor condition. Access is easy by road, although it is somewhat narrow and we must be careful on the curves.
