      This baby sperm whale made from marine debris is the brainchild of a non-profit association called Retro Retouch. As a result of the Vive Nigrán music festival, which takes place on these beaches, this figure was donated to the town hall as a reminder of the commitment to the marine environment.

          The best proof that waste can also be used sensibly! A really nice whale sculpture.
