We stop in the old hamlet of Buðir to see one of the few black churches in the country, painted with pitch.
It is a beautiful pebbled beach, with a series of rocks of mysterious form emerging from the ocean. We'll see the rests of a shipwreck on the beach, as well as big stones which people tried to lift and test their strength in the days of the fishing stations.
