The shore end of the harbour breakwater and the town at Santa Cruz de la Palma, Canary Islands. The photographer is looking along the breakwater showing a number of motor cars parked on the roadway and a building which has Obras del Puerto (Port Works Office) on it. On the flank wall of this building is a large sign concerning the vehicle speed limit. A little further inland is a Shell garage forecourt and petrol pump. A poster for Goodyear tyres is on the hillside. The town is built on the lower slopes of the Caldera de Taburiente.
