Mónaco i el mar / Monaco and the sea
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Entre la vila vella de Mónaco i Montecarlo es troba Port Hercule, el principal i tradicional port del país. Tot i que també s'hi poden trobar barques i llanxes, el que destaca son els mega-iots de luxe, obviament.
Molta gent confon Montecarlo amb Mónaco, quan són dues coses diferents. Mónaco és tot l'estat principesc, el 2on país més petit del món i un ultraluxós paradís fiscal. Montecarlo és només el seu barri més exclusiu, on es troben tant el famós casino, com l'Hotel de Paris.
======================
Located between the old medieval Monaco and the wards of La Condamine and Montecarlo, the Port Hercule is the main and traditional harbour of Monaco. Although there are still small boats there, what gets more atention are the mega-yatches moored there.
Many people confuse Monte Carlo with Monaco, when they are two different things. Monaco is the entire princely state, the 2nd smallest country in the world and an ultra-luxurious tax haven. Monte Carlo is only its most exclusive ward, where both the famous casino, the luxury shops and the Hotel de Paris are located.
The best view of it is from the square in front of the palace of the princes, above the ancient and medieval town of Monaco.
My father took this same photography with his Rolleiflex in the 60's:
