Cabo de Gato area: striking coastline: Coburn walks down here. This is Monsul beach also seen in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'. Terry Walsh adds that the rock formation to the left is 'peineta de Mónsul', the translation of which refers to an elaborate, comb-shaped decoration worn in the hair of Spanish ladies.

These rocks must still be there. Terry Walsh advises that they are and are known as 'Arrecife de las Sirenas' which means Sirens or Mermaids Reef.
