La madrepatria Lindo che va superba per il mare «Lindo e la sua roccia; e questa che crea la configurazione di quel luogo, nella baia orientale dell'isola, appena piu in basso della meta, sporgendo verso il mare per un'altezza di 166 m, formando a sinistra e a destra (N e S) un porto maggiore e uno minore.
