Two large arched wooden doors fill the symmetrical façade of a weathered stone building.

A white waterfront building rises above rocks and shallow water beside a stone walkway.
A man sits beside a bicycle in the shade of a tree, overlooking a stone path and rocky shoreline.
A shirtless man walks a dog along a narrow wall beside the sea, with the distant coast beyond.
A small open boat floats in the foreground of a harbour filled with fishing boats and luxury motorboats.
A curved concrete wall and narrow coastal path follow the rocky edge of the sea.
A stone walkway follows a rocky shoreline towards a solitary waterfront house beneath a clouded sky.
