Yes, on running 'gmsh -2 Dominio.geo', I see this too:

    Warning : Could not orient normal of surface 1

I'm not immediately sure why though...  I continue to suspect that this warning is associated with the error from FreeFEM about triangular elements having negative areas, but I haven't been able to work out what the problem with Dominio.brep is, i.e. why Gmsh can't orient the Plane Surface.

I even get the same warning from Gmsh when trying to make a simple Plane Surface from either of the two Curve Loops separately.  That does seem odd to me since the second, which looks like an island (or is it a lake) is simple enough to be inspected manually in the Gmsh GUI and it looks fine.

Sorry, I'm not sure what to suggest from here...
