Vandals cause damage to the Real de Zaragoza dune area

Vandals have pulled up parts of the perimeter fence around the protected Real de Zaragoza sand dunes, and the Pro Dunas association says tyre marks from vehicles such as quads were clearly visible on the sand.

This is the largest area in the ecological reserve, and vandalism is nothing new. "It happens every summer," says the association's spokeswoman, Susanne Stamm, "but this is the first time they have attacked this part."
