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.
