An still unspoilt beach area


On the back of this picture, you can see the Cape of Trafalgar and, on the right,  Barbate.


You can see a  low mountain on the right of the picture: Zahara de los Atunes, that is placed at the foot of it.  Tuna fishes are catched in these beaches, at around 300m from the shore. It happens twice a year. That´s why the name " Zahara de los Atunes" " Tuna Fishes Zahara" . The system used for the catching is called " Almadraba"

I am not the author of the picture above, I have posted it here so you can see how  tuna fishes are captured by Almadraba 

This spectacle can be seen twice a year ( May and September) when tuna fishes migrates down and up.

Since several years ago, japanese people are coming to Barbate, with big freezing vessels, in order to buy and take almost all the tunas fished, to Japan. 


This picture has been made witout any filter and has not retouch.You can see the same spectacle, every night, around 9 p.m. On the right of the picture, you can see the Cape of Trafalgar.


I made this picture around 6 p.m, in summer and in the same beach of Atlanterra. Here, the light is very special, every afternoon, although the sky is clear.As you can see, the sea seems to be a piece of silver (on the right of the picture). That is why the atlantic ocean is called here " Mar de Plata" (Sea of Silver).


This picture was made around 9:30 p.m., the last July, also without any filter.I like this one, for example cause of the reflected light of the sun on the shore.Also, I like the contrast among the dark area, on the right of the picture, and the clear area of the shore.


Here, the sun is hidden.I like this picture, because it seems tha the water is arriving to the shore in order to draw the dark area of the sand with clear and playful forms.


To the left of the picture, you can see the little village "Zahara de los Atunes". On back, you can see "Atlanterra", with a mountain, in which you can meet a lot of nice houses, most of them, of German people; that area is named "Los Alemanes".Behind the mountain, you can meet a very nice and savage beach.
