      Good that my curiosity has won again. The first suspected "prefabricated concrete garages" with a view of the sea attracted me magically and turned out to be a cemetery designed by the famous Spanish architect César Portela.

        I think here to find his last peace in the middle of nature is a great idea. I do not know if anyone was buried there?
