I walked to the point building the northern end of the bay. The sea was wild here too, but some heavy clouds approaching made me hope that the wind would finally turn and manage to put some order into the chaos at least within the bay.

The sun was disappearing way too soon – short days are the price to pay to get decent waves in this part of the world – and the possible combination of this winter swell meeting local offshore winds would go unnoticed during the dark.

To my surprise the town centre was pretty busy with people and the reason was a large Christmas fare on the main plaza. I had a stroll through the bustling market and was tempted to buy some food at one of the many stands there but then decided to have some real dinner and went into one of the restaurants within the narrow alleys of the historic town centre.
