Almáciga will catch you if you are a nature lover. This is one of the beaches of Taganana and is sheltered by the hamlet that gives it its name.

This black sand beach has a strong swell throughout the year and therefore you should be cautious if you want to enjoy swimming. It is because of this swell that Almáciga beach is ideal for surf lovers.
The hamlet, which has the same name as the beach, is a small group of agricultural houses with a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Begoña. The story tells us that, in the middle of the last century, some pilgrims from Bilbao threw a bottle with the image of this virgin into the sea, while they were making the journey to Santiago de Compostela. The bottle arrived intact eight months later on the shores of Almáciga and its then neighbors responded to the message. After this exchange and as a present, the villagers of Almáciga received an image of the Virgin of Begoña and made her the patron saint of the place.
The neighboring beach, which is called Roque de las Bodegas, is a very coquettish beach of black sand, with a familiar tinge due to the fact that the swell is less than in Almáciga or Benijo beaches. This beach has a picturesque pier on a rock that juts out into the sea. It is highly recommended to spend the day and enjoy a well-deserved dip.
