VOICED : Un cementerio de neumaticos

The video discusses a large tire dump near Sesena, south of Madrid, which has become an environmental nightmare. The dump spans 11 hectares, with a history dating back to the 1990s when a company began storing tires illegally. Declared illegal a decade ago, the site poses significant fire hazards due to the combustible nature of tires.
