Outside the Memory Hermitage is a broad look-out point. A few shops and restaurants dot this area. The shops had earthenware pottery, shawls, huge aprons, exquisitely embroidered linens, sweaters, fishermen's flannel shirts, miniature ships and lighthouse and much more. But it here that we saw ladies selling 'percebes' or boiled barnacles on the sidewalk - it was really strange to see these ugly-looking creatures, piled in mounds in wicker baskets, but here they are considered as munchies with your beer.
