A long sunny coast of small towns joined by a coast road, made of cut paper
Greetings from Parlaville

Every town on this coast has a story, told in its own language.

Start in San Marcelo del Mar. Mateo is new in town. He's inherited a building he's never seen, and he can barely order a coffee in Spanish. He doesn't know anyone, but someone already knows him.
