Can't work this one out at all ... would appreciate a little help, please.

" Never mind David Beckham, the original golden balls come from this ancient town! It's a place of pilgrimage, a seasonal gift to souvenir sellers. It lies on a stunning coastline which is worhsipped by sun lovers during the summer, but locals don't get the hump in winter - they make their own f un ... name the town"

The pictures are: (a) three Santa figures (?wood) on a string, some ancient ?dwellings carved into a cliff, (c) a yacht on a lake (or maybe sea), (d) close up of a camel.

Many thanks, Chox.
