From the main road a traffic sign shows the way: Selatangar. Near the parking lot a board tells the story of this place. An old fishing station
This local was used as a fishing base for centuries, from the Middle Ages until 1884. Just visiting one will feel a chill. It's an unwelcoming place and usually people go visit in the Summer. It's hard to imagine how it would be possible to spend not a night but a whole season in this location... and there is more: the fishing season was in the Winter!
On the spot there are the remains of the huts, made of rock and lava.
There is also a ghost story, a "guy" called Tanga-Tómas, specially naughty.
