Tips

Hiking

if you go up the steps you have a great view at the church and at the remains of the lava flows

Hiking

Just behind the church you find this very nice waterfall and an old factory. However, the most interesting thing may the formation in the volcanic rock and tunnel/cave going under the church. See if you can find it.

Hiking

Old basalt quarry that stopped being exploited at the beginning of the century. The extracted product was used for the manufacture of cobblestones due to its hardness, for being insulating and resistant to corrosives.
