In my next life, I want to be this parillero in Getaria, who might have the most beautiful station in the world. When I took this photo, he and I were standing on the same cobblestones, overlooking the harbor. On this part of the Spanish coast you can fall off a hillside into the sea, and the water was as far below us as it was behind. Four turbots are lined up on the table to the right. I wondered if he’d ever, on a bad day, been overcome by the temptation to pitch one of his mistakes back into the water whence it came.
Very nice writing , made me want to go there
