On the path to Osalla Beach, turn left before the pier (stay on the beach side). The path from Osalla Beach to Cala Cateou is barely accessible along the sea and requires climbing skills – unsuitable for children and dogs. The path down to Cala Cateou (after the climb and the turnoff from the main road) has a few steep, rocky sections – sturdy footwear is essential here and not recommended for inexperienced hikers.

At this point, the biker encounters two small sacred monuments located in close proximity: + The rock in the foreground is crowned by a small grotto, protecting the statue inside, which contains an image of the Virgin Mary. The interior walls of the small grotto are painted sky blue, while the statue of the Madonna is entirely white. + In the background, a summit cross rises skyward.
