The Magical Night of Cabo Polonio
in Latina Viva, on December 15, 2006
After the Quiet Sunset of Cabo Polonio , comes the bewitching darkness. There's no electricity there, remember? The only places provided with electrical power are the lighthouse and the police station. The inns have power generators, turned on around 8 P.M, and turned off around 2 A.M.
So,...
