Yongmeori Coast’s Dramatic Sandstone Cliffs Shaped by Waves
At the base of Sanbangsan Mountain on Jeju Island lies the Yongmeori Coast⭐⭐, a geological wonder where the land plunges dramatically into the sea. Named for its silhouette—"Yongmeori 용머리해안" means Dragon Head in Korean, resembling a dragon dipping into the ocean—the coast is a magnificent display of millions of years of volcanic activity and erosion.
Its towering, layered sandstone cliffs, featuring wave-carved walls and recessed caves, offer a journey through deep time, reminiscent of walking through the Grand Canyon. A gentle, level trail allows visitors to admire this artistry, though access is strictly limited to low tide for safety, making it essential to check the tide schedule before visiting.

TL;DR: T‑10 is gone — Barcelona now uses the T‑mobilitat system. The best tourist ticket is the T‑Casual (10 rides, Zone 1), but it does not cover the Airport Metro (L9 Sud) or the Aerobús. If you land at T1, skip buying transit tickets at the airport and take the Aerobús into the city first. Once you reach the city center and drop your bags, buy your T‑Casual from any Metro station vending machine and start using it for all your Barcelona travel.
