TO HELP YOU FINDING THE CITY, HERE YOU HAVE SOME HINTS!

* The city dates back at least to the 10th century.
* Its first Latin name meant literally, "a gathering place or preserve of birds."
* One terrible storm in winter one year in the 16th century, closed the entrance to its port and ,the same storm, also created a reef barrier at the Atlantic Ocean.
