A reader denounces the poor condition of the Charco de San Ginés this Monday morning.

"At low tide there were rats and pigeons eating the garbage together on the shore", she relates. In the images sent, you can see how a large brown stain comes out through one of the pipes in this mythical leisure area in the center of Arrecife, as well as the remains of small objects thrown away.

Dirt and even the remains of white foam can be seen in other parts of the pond.

At the same time, this reader assures that "some blame the owners of the barges without reason, when these little boats are part of the beauty of the pond."

She also concludes that, on any other island, this would be wonderful
