  So 
  tempestuous 
  are 
  the 
  winds 
  along 
  the 
  shores 
  of 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Biscay 
  that 
  few 
  of 
  the 
  

   peasant 
  houses 
  have 
  chimneys. 
  In 
  their 
  stead 
  round 
  holes 
  to 
  emit 
  smoke 
  are 
  cut 
  in 
  the 
  wall 
  

   beneath 
  the 
  eaves, 
  as 
  here 
  shown.

  The 
  green 
  lulls 
  and 
  fascinating 
  outlook 
  over 
  choppy 
  blue 
  waters 
  have 
  attracted 
  many 
  Bilbao 
  

   people 
  to 
  this 
  village, 
  where 
  they 
  have 
  summer 
  villas.
