DISQUS

The drunken pears recipe looks great, a must try. Thanks for posting along with notes for those intriguing Vinhos Regionais from Minho.

The total investment of the pool is significanlty lower than 1.5 billion, it is some 150-200 million, which were financed by the people that bought the departments

The pool is not a fake: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=san%20alfonso%2...

It was built a couple of years ago, and it was supposed to be an artificial lagoon, but this year someone named it as "pool" and "gained" the dubious honour to be mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records

Why building a huge pool just meters away from the sea?
1) The Chilean sea is freezing cold, you can not be more than 5 minutes in the sea, unless you want to be infertile
2) That particular beach is extremely dangerous, with very strong streams. If you try to swim there, you'll probably die in less than the 5 minutes it takes you to be infertile. One of the options was to
3) According to the Chilean Law, there is no private beach, and this lagoon was the solution for 1) + 2) + 3)

The pictures are definitely photoshoped.

The place used to be much nicer 10 years ago when the project started, there used to be dunes in the back (in the zone of the second line of buildings), but the beach was not very popular.

Use google and you will find out that besides producing huge pools we are doing quite a good job on reducing poverty . Ah, and We do bath, daily.

Didn't the name "WriteProtect" suggest it enough?
