Houseboat or Boathouse?

Houseboat or Boathouse?, Vinaroz

Vinarós harbour

Vinarós harbour, Vinaroz

 chancay Says:  have a look at my travelogues. The harbour is very beautiful. It´s a 100% real fishing port, I think every day you can go to buy freshest fish directy from the boat. 

Sunrise in April

The power of the sea

The power of the sea, Vinaroz

 chancay Says:  Every year the sea takes a bit more of the land. Some houses that were built 20 years ago in a distance of 10 metres to the sea are already quite near now, some are already destroyed. There´s no chance against the power of wind and water.
