—AUDIORELATO: VOLUNTARIOS/AS DEL PRESTIGE —The Prestige was a single-hull oil tanker that sank off the Galician coast, at about 25 miles off Vilán Cape, on 19 November 2002, causing a huge oil spill that affected a wide area ranging from northern Portugal to the French Landes, causing the biggest ecological disaster in the history of Galicia and social and political mobilization. It is worth noting the human tide of volunteers from all around the world who came to clean the Galician coast.
