Grundarfjörður’s beautiful landmark is the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found

From the Arab dominion there is evidence of a tower near the sea to defend themselves from the Christian pirates, that were quite frequent due to its proximity to Murcia. This tower ended up being destroyed after a powerful earthquake in 1518. Garrucha has had a fishing past since its origins and its port has gained special importance, specially due to the presence of a warehouse known as “House of the Salt”, where they would store the salt from Cabo de Gata to be subsequently distributed around the interior. The port was, as from the 16th century, an important commercial point of wines, wicker and marble.
However times change and today Garrucha is famous for its red prawns, fishing and fishing boats trawling backwards and forwards each day, and the exportation of Gypsum.

Agent J: [To Agent K, after being given a small weapon dubbed the "Noisy Cricket"] I feel like I'm gonna break this damn thing!
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
