This creek is completely surrounded by greenery; it’s the typical, dense, fragrant, and very green Mediterranean shrub. On the high dominating rocks, various species of sea birds nest, among them sea gulls, peregrine falcons, golden eagles, Bonelli’s eagles, Eleonara’s falcons, and even some specimen of white-backed vultures.
