Fishing is an important means of living. Everywhere you can see these fishing-boats, "yolas", these ones at Caracoles beach. (1996)

These are a kind of fish traps at Monte Río beach. (2001)

This is a kind of buoy, at the top some bells, so they can hear (e.g. at night) where they left the fish traps. Every fisherman recognizes the sound of his own pots and pans. (2002)
