This collection of poems shows the journey of the author´s life; from birth, on the beach of Zurriola, to immersion in the experiences she has lived, and ending with the death that will happen one day.
All the poems are based on the author´s real experiences and all are a reflection of the thoughts that come to the author while looking at the sea. Some were written at the time, others later.
The poems of this collection are full of sensitivity and they are all characterized by the result of the desire to combine musicality, rhyme and content. Nature, on the other hand, is a very important element of this poems, and according to the author, nature has been its main source of inspiration.
