The predominant weather phenomena on the Costa Brava is the Tra-montana. The strong northwest wind not only causes waves, but also blows away the sand. The trees on the dune Duna litoral des Sant Martí d'Empúries then start to totter dangerously. Their roots can no longer maintain their grip in the sandy underground. Ranger Mirian Villar has to make sure that the trees do not fall over onto the street and create even more damage.
In Blanes, Alberto Perez also has major problems with the wind and clouds. Once a year, fireworks specialists from all corners of the world come here to take part in the competition on the beach. The impending rain could put an end to the show.
Aziza Imoutguen is also looking forward to an exciting evening. She has worked in an anchovy factory in L'Escala for 13 years. The processing of anchovies has been traditional here for centuries. Islanders prepare themselves for the annual anchovy party with weird and wonderful anchovy recipes. For Aziza, the party is something very special because she wants to try eating fish for the very first time in her life.
