Cala Viuda caves
Cala Viuda has one of the best sets of submarine caves on the Catalan coast, with several caves totalling about 200 m of passages and three air chambers. The park says they suit divers starting out in sea caves, and recommends a guide to cover the whole site; a dive-centre page gives a maximum depth of 20 m.
