  • This is "Jacintos Well", a HOLE in the rocks where a local story takes place. Its said that young Jacinto was walking with his cow along the sea shore and he fell in the WELL. People are told to yell "Jacinto dame la vaca" into the well to summon his spirit. I dont believe in such nonsense, but have been known to yell it once or twice.
  • I just visited this place last week with a friend, and he told me exactly the same legend or story!! I did yell out into the hole" Jacinto dame la vaca", it felt weird, but I just had to do it!
