Summer says goodbye and with it, the tumult on the beaches. There are no longer shouts of “churros, halados, donas,” nor can we hear the loud music of the inns. For Maximiliano Cartes Salas, as for many of those who live by the sea, it is a time of calm. The month when he has the most work has passed, now, there is a little time to go out to filmr, to enjoy and contemplate the landscapes of Las Grutas and San Antonio, their place in the world.

There are many birds, as there is not so much activity on the coasts. I was talking to a friend, we saw some penguins. The important thing is that they don’t bother them,” he says.
Malón, from the waterfront, looked at the beach, but did not go down. Maxi, as always remember that it is not allowed to go down to the beach with animals, from 0 to the Seventh descent. And it invites you to enjoy autumn in Las Grutas, a time without swimming but with a lot to do. These days, they are preparing for the long Easter weekend.
