This memorial to commemorate a serious tanker accident in 2002 can also be found here in the system under the name "Piedra a Ferida". The crack in the stone is symbolic of the bursting of the tanker, which led to a very large environmental disaster.

The monument (400 tons heavy and 11 m high) commemorates the terrible tanker accident of the "Prestige", which broke up off the coast in November 2002 and triggered one of the worst environmental catastrophes. The damage to nature and the environment was only repaired after 10 years.
