Kilometres of sand, steep mountains and the swell of the open Atlantic come together on this remote stretch of the Jand\u00eda peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>The coast at the southern end of the island is almost entirely undeveloped. There is no promenade and there are no hotel complexes. The drive through the Jand\u00eda mountains is part of the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Above the small village stands Villa Winter. Stories of German submarines, secret tunnels and the Second World War have grown around the building.
