"My grandfather was in love with austere travel and "campings", and one of his favorite places was Baja California.

There he had found a "virgin" beach where the waves hurled themselves on a stretch of rocks with so much force that the constant splashing of the water formed small stagnations of calm water in the cavities.

In complete Roman style, my grandfather spent many hours refreshing himself and, one day, decided, as dusk was about to end, to call this place "Bañeras" (bathtubs). I guess the moment when the cloud covered the sun occurred while he was resting, in a horizontal position, in one of his natural pools". (Iñaki Bonillas, 2009).

 

"Mio nonno era innamorato dei viaggi austeri e dei “campings”, e uno dei suoi luoghi prediletti era Baja California.

Lì aveva trovato una spiaggia “vergine” dove le onde si scagliavano su un tratto di rocce con talmente tanta forza che i costanti spruzzi dell’acqua formavano dei piccoli ristagni di acqua calma nelle cavità.

In completo stile romano, mio nonno passava molte ore rinfrescandosi e, un bel giorno, decise, mentre stava per finire il crepuscolo, di chiamare questo luogo "Bañeras" (vasche da bagno). Immagino che il momento in cui la nuvola copriva il sole avvenne mentre lui stava riposando, in posizione orizzontale, in una delle sue vasche naturali". (Iñaki

Bonillas, 2009).
