Spanish term or phrase: estampa marinera
From a tourist guide to the areas around Bilbao:

This is a subheading about fishing villages:

Entrañables pueblos que son auténticas estampas marineras
Postales en vivo

I don't want to use picture postcards scenes or similar as I'm using that for postales en vivo. So, any ideas for how to render estampas marineras in the above sentence?

Thanks

...with an authentic, seafaring atmosphere
Explanation:
I think the original is a bit repetitive actually and this might sound better for the first sentence.

neutral  AllegroTrans: I think you need to attach an adjective/adjectival phrase to "pueblos" somehow rather than to speak of "scenes" (which could be mid-ocean!)

Unforgettable seaside villages (that are living postcards)


Explanation:
I'd trim this down into something that sounds natural in English. One of many examples:www.portugaltours.com.pt/en/blog-travel.aspx
9/8/2011 - ... modern tourist hot spots such as medieval townships and unforgettable seaside villages with outstanding scenery and warm, clean beaches.

auténtica estampa marinera
the very embodiment of the perfect seaside village


Explanation:
Or something similar...

I think this loosely captures the sense - the idea - of "estampa", and also just about avoids any synonyms of "picture postcard"

Quintessential fishing villages


Explanation:
.. or "Quintessentially Basque fishing villages"


quintessential fishing village
http://www.itraveluk.co.uk/travel-guide/towns/scotland.html

it's a wonderfully picturesque, quintessentially Basque fishing village with beach across the Bay of Txingudi from Hendaye, France
http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/san-sebastian-4.cfm

This quintessential seafaring town feels timeless, with captain's mansions perched on narrow streets that lead to a busy harbor.

It is the quintessential picture-postcard fishing village
