Museo do Alemán
At the beginning of the Camelle pier is the Museo do Alemán . You are not allowed to enter the area, but from the path you can see many of the sculptures that Manfred Gnädinger made from stones and boulders and some cement. Some of the sculptures have been battered by weathering and surf; The small, colorful house of Man is left to decay - that's what the locals called Manfred Gnädinger. Many of the sculptures are still well preserved; some of them are reminiscent of the drip castles that children build from wet sand on the beach.
