I don't want to be provocative but there are two things to consider: 1st: the lack or difficulty in finding and providing original info, and 2nd: the life style change. Let me explain: About the first: Nowadays information about everything is very easily obtained through internet. Do you...

I was there too last year ad from what I remember the Cat was used for day charters. This is the entrance of Marina Smir who is a joint property of the Spanish importer of Brunswick brands. This is the marina office where also is sited the passport control. When you first arrive they...
