A large commercial fishing harbor with ramps

... and floating docks to land a dinghy

Ashore for lunch and fiesta!

Typical, colorful Spanish fishing boats;  immaculate!

Mark Bumgarner's first effort to consume rachiones and martini blanco.

Order one rachione for each person and one for the table;  then snack away!

Plaza beside town hall where we stop for the rain

Under umbrellas and listening to an impromptu guitar concert

Here comes the band which is required by Spanish law to play twice daily in the streets to announce the fiesta

And they do love to march in the band!
