Veo las piedras neolíticas y realmente tendrá su valor. Pero al ver la foto me he preguntado ¿Porque se formarán esas manchas blancas de la mar al embestir contra las rompientes y permanecen un tiempo sin disgregarse? ¿Será que al chocar la mar contra las rocas sale espuma blanca y se mantiene sazonada con el salitre marino?

Andy Rodker replied to José Manuel Polo:

I have no idea, José Manuel.
I have never known anything different around these coasts so you may be right.
I remember asking the same question when I was a child, thinking it might be pollution and, while I can't now remember the answer I was given, it definitily wasn't caused by pollution!
The rock is all granite here.
