I AM BACK HOME AFTER EASTER HOLIDAYS WHICH GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO VISIT, AFTER 25 YEARS, ONE BEAUTIFUL CITY...WHICH ONE? WHAT IS THE SECRET PLACE IN THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN SOME DAYS AGO? WHAT OTHER TWO CITIES IN EUROPE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON? WHAT IS IT?

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.

DO YOU NEED MORE HELP?

CONGRATULATIONS SARA P. AND MARTIN...YOU ARE THE WINNERS THIS TIME...
