There is a blissful swimming pool where the air is alive with scarlet dragonflies.

The Black-headed Skimmer or Blue Scarlet Dragonfly, Crocothemis nigrifrons, is a species of dragonfly of the widespread genus Crocothemis.

Under the sun the mist moved gently, smoking off the glassy water, shifting and restless like the phantoms of the night, like the smoke of the enchanted fire... The shore, the scarlet dragonfly, the white horse grazing, the cloudy forest at my back, faded, became phantoms themselves.

Around holiday developments such as Caleta de Fuste, water is relatively abundant, and dragonfly species including the Blue Emperor, Anax imperator and the Scarlet Darter, Crocothemis erythraea can be found.
