Spanish term

olas con espuma en la cresta

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature género: cuento
Los días de invierno anochece muy temprano. Cuando hay nubes en la costa y el mar se pone negro, a las cinco de la tarde ya está casi oscuro. Ése era un día así: nublado, medio gris y medio frío, con la lluvia anunciándose y olas con espuma en la cresta.

(Isabel Allende 1942- "El hombre de plata")
