Story:
During our visit to Valdivia, we wanted to visit the seashore of Corral, which we visited 38 year earlier.
At that it, you could only take a tourist ferry that took you to the Corral and Niebla Spaniard fortresses, both guarding from key positions at each side of the Corral bay.
The following day we took the ferry that balance heavily due to the Corral Bay sea waves.
Driving through a costal road adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, I could not find a public entrance towards the seashore. The entire coast had a private fenced terrain, and the very few open places were not interesting.
Finally, we found a small parking area, as we stopped, a trail towards the sea became visible.
In a matter of minutes, we were in front of the seashore, where a small creek ended its course joining with ocean.
White polished rocks with form of an egg were scattered that caught my attention and started registering them.
