peer agreement (net): +7west(ern) facade Explanation: "Poniente (Catalan: Ponent, Maltese: Punent, Greek: Πουνέντες, Spanish: Poniente) is the traditional cardinal point West, more specifically a wind that blows from the west. The name is derived from the Latin via Italian for "setting", meaning sunset, and appeared by that name in the traditional compass rose on the Mediterranean Sea nautical charts since the Middle Ages. Regional variations include the Catalan "ponent" and the Spanish "poniente", which is the name for the warm and dry westerly breeze that blows across the Atlantic onto the west Mediterranean coast and through the Straits of Gibraltar." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2014-03-18 17:32:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By the way, if you Google "ponente", this is the first hit.
