As written by Manuel Rivas, the Prestige oil spill has paved the beaches of the soul, part of our future, some of our innocence and almost all our hopes.
this social catastrophe In solidarity, ecological, political, we have prepared a section on oil pollution in Malpais coasts of Guimaras, although of course not comparable is our small share of disaster.

tar call in Galicia, here we call piche. In our case the alleged remains of cleaning (underground) of the oil tanks that discharge into the refinery in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. intensely since childhood I remember the ritual of cleaning the feet of "piche" to reach the beach in the village of El Socorro, neighbor to the Badlands: distergen bottle, an old rag. I remember the old towels that were taken to the beach because they were going to stain anyway, I remember being in the water away balls "piche" floating in groups.
The coast of the island where the Badlands is a place where ocean currents come here constant drag almost anything that floats from the tip of Anaga, and even from the north of the island. Any person drowned, the whale that the jet-foil broke in two, the guy who was a summer's bike broke down at the beach of Las Teresitas, Santa Cruz (1), and especially waste: waste coming large quantities of old landfill in Santa Cruz, in Cabo Llanos (known as The Lazareto), garbage barge, and among them always emphasizing the armadillo. When my mother saw an oil tanker after unloading their tanks left the island slowly, parallel to the coast, and predicted that he would soon arrive piche, tar, oil. 
.
algae, life The coast is dead, the pools do not have algae no fish, no life. It smells of oil, especially when the sun heats the old armadillo cake.
From the long list of identified algae on the coast of the Badlands in 1980 How many remain today?
end this article with the list of algae identified in this area in 1980, taken from: Lopez Hernandez, M., 1980.
