The scenario is breathtaking. We are surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Atlantic and there isn't a human made sound in the air. There, we see the remains of an old settlement. It used to be a fishing settlement, a base for the complex system of coastal tuna fishing, using nets and anchors to capture the animals. There were more of the kind in the region but all of them were abandoned in the early 60's.
