Why Is It Only For The Rich?

Well, before you get the answer to this question, you need to know some history of this place. It was discovered by the Romans and was named Portus Delphini, which translates to the port of dolphins. However, during that time, anyone who wanted to see dolphins had to be a part of the upper class of society. This led to the solidification of the association between the elite and this region. Throughout time, wealthy men and nobles often traveled to this place for recreational purposes, and many even owned it. So, when the nobles owned the land, they sold it to people of similar status, which helped in maintaining the association between the rich and elite.
