Access issues
Bird nesting closures in some sectors from 1st March to 31st August.
Approach
From the parking lot to the rock it's about 5 minutes walk, depends on the area, but in general you get there really fast.
Where to stay
Camping is prohibited throughout the area. During the summer it is forbidden to stay overnight (under fine), but you can bivouac next to the cars. In Bologna there are several hostels and at Punta Paloma beach there are two campsites.
There is a nice bar where you find all the climbing locals in the evening. You can buy the guide books there and have a cheap beer and good talk!
