The breakwater, harbour and town at Santa Cruz de la Palma, Canary Islands. The photographer is looking along the breakwater showing boat landing steps in the foreground with a crowd of local people waiting for the arrival of tourists from a cruise ship. A small crane is on the breakwater and a number of motor cars are parked on the inland end of the breakwater. On the shore at the head of the harbour are a Shell petrol pump, a building with Texaco on it and a poster for Goodyear tyres on the hillside. The town is built on the lower slopes of the Caldera de Taburiente.
