In this photograph in La Vanguardia Readers’ Photos we can see a painter painting from nature the landscape of the coast of Sant Pol de Mar, in Maresme, dominated by the large rocks and the aquatic birds that crown them drying their wings in the sun
Sant Pol de Mar is an example of a Mediterranean town, with narrow streets and white, stepped houses and with the coast lined by beaches of clean, grainy sand that are reminiscent of its seafaring origins, as described by the City Council.
Since March 16, 2019, Sant Pol de Mar has been part of the Barris i Viles Marineres tourism brand, which is made up of municipalities and neighborhoods of municipalities on the Catalan coast, which continue to keep tradition, culture and its roots alive, linked Sea.
Sant Pol is a town with a marked maritime character that is reflected in the architecture, the beaches, the fairs and popular festivals and the gastronomy.
In this sense, the image of the painter painting the maritime landscape is an example of how the Mediterranean Sea defines the past and present of this town on the Maresme coast.
