Solitario en la Costa Brava de Jonathan Gascó Ochoa de Palafolls (Barcelona)
Place: Tossa de Mar. Girona. Catalunya. Espanya
Description: La Mar Menuda is a small cove located on one end of the Catalan town of Tossa de Mar, in the heart of the Costa Brava. In it we can see the fanciful shapes of the orography of this fantastic coast and its peculiarities. Here the pine trees seem solitary tight-rope walkers at the top of blocks of stone eroded by the sea and the wind over the years.
