Years ago, the island formed on the left at the end of Cristo del Mar street from the port, housed a small boat. A llaüt typical of our bay that caused the admiration of the elderly - who recalled times of artisanal fishing at the entrance to the fishing district - and that aroused the curiosity of the youngest, among whom a server author of this article is , who longed to know how and what the boat had transported to that place so far from the sea and had left stranded there.
For a few days, that same island has recovered his boat. Not the same, of course, but another very bright little llaüt with bright red and white.

Joaquín, the name that heads the small ship, has been used until very recently by the Morató family for artisanal fishing. Now, after a grooming and treatment of the wood and its paint, it happens to occupy a place more exposed to the public, far from the sea, but head of entrance to the neighborhood of Aduanas del Mar.
