Portman, a la sombra de RobertoPortman, in Roberto's Shadow
More than 2000 years ago, on the Iberican peninsula, 100 000 slaves worked in the montains of the prosperous Roman colony of New Carthage searching for its precious silver. From the bay of Portman, known as "Portus magnus", or "Great port", Roman ships sailed for the capital loades with the valuable metal. For 2000 years, people lived in harmony with the mountains and the bay. Modern mining methods broke this harmony. Today Portman, once a beautiful bay, is owerflowing with millions of tons of toxic metallic waste. Portman represents an unfathomable ecological and socio-economic disaster. No Spanish public administration has ever done anything about this disaster.
