Villages

Téifaros

The village of Teifaros consists of only about a little over a dozen houses, including a few farms, where cows are raised for their milk. From Teifaros, the sea is visible, and the beaches of Fabal and Frejulfe are easily accessible by foot. The countryside is a mixture of crops such as potatoes and corn, fields of grass, and eucalyptus forests. The sea (Atlantic) reaches the land in either beaches or cliffs. The climate is humid and cool, meaning that the water is cold, even in summer. In summer it usually approaches 18 degrees celsius. Waves can be very powerful and dangerous. Beaches are usually made of black sand, because it comes from the black rock found in the area. Teifaros is located on a hilly and very green region.
