El Diari de Tarragona published an article today about the Cova del Llop Marí and legend, we leave a small excerpt:

Llop Marí Cave is located in the naturist beach of Torn Hospitalet de l'Infant. Swimming or a boat can access it. Its entrance is in a wide open mouth on the cliff

Neptune in Roman mythology god of the sea, made a wonderful work with a seahorse. He transformed a small fish in a beast out of the depth of water that frightened pirates Coll de Balaguer. Legend has it that was his refuge in the cave Torn beach of L'Hospitalet de l'Infant.
At one end of this beach is the islet of Torn, where the remains of a watchtower of medieval are. Formerly, this stretch of coast was known as the coves of the Coll de Balaguer, a hidden place and used by the first naturalists to the sixties. Near the cave of Llop Mari, one of the last shelters of the marine animal, named in the city is that, they say, was recorded by security cameras from the nuclear plant, located very close to this area.
