Dock in Puerto Manatí

At 4:00 a.m., a soft breeze disperses the scent of saltpeter throughout Puerto Manatí. It is rather an unexpected visit to every nook and cranny of the coastal village, where at that hour not even the barking of dogs can be heard. The aroma of coffee intertwines with the fresh breath; they are seconds of stillness and distant purrs. But soon Alejandro crosses the threshold of the house, in the street the footsteps multiply, and the backpacks on the shoulder indicate that it will be a fishing day.
