Photographer’s Note

In the picture is the beach of San Lorenzo, in Gijon.
It is the most crowded, as it is in the city. Its funds are sand. Along the beach there are several peaks from right to left. In days of good work with all tides, but at high tide contraolas form. At low tide, on the right side of the beach, a wave breaks long, with sections and very funny.

Gijón (Asturian: Xixón), is a coastal industrial city and a municipality in the autonomous community of Asturias in Spain. Early mediaeval texts mention it as "Gigia". It was an important regional Roman city, although the area has been settled since earliest history. The name was originally applied to a small peninsula presently referred to as Cimavilla, literally "top of village," between two beaches, one of which has a recreational port today. The main port, one of the largest in the north of Spain, is called "El Musel". Gijón has a barely growing population of approximately 277,000 (2006).
