The Prestige and the goose-barnacle gatherers of Roncudo

Historical milestone · Ponteceso, Bergantiños, A Coruña

Image of Ponteceso, not of the place itself.

The tanker's spill covered in 2002 with fuel oil the rocks of the Roncudo, the best goose barnacle ground in Galicia, and forced the harvest to be closed for months while the shellfish gatherers themselves cleaned the stones.
