If you had to get up early to fight off the sea fleas, on the Esplanade de la Liberté, the “Casetas del mar” offered something to eat, warm up and even a rather festive atmosphere, despite the mandatory raincoats. .

A group of Tyrosse traveled, and the smell of paella or fried food quickly brought the guests to the table, or rather, leaned against the bars sheltered under the barnums installed for the occasion.
