The Wider Image: Spanish villagers fear their homes will be abandoned to the sea
Marcela Otamendi, 58, and her sister Maria Cinta Otamendi, 56, talk next to rocks painted with the word 'shame' in front of their restaurant, which is surrounded by rocks to protect it from the sea at Marquesa beach, Spain, October 8, 2021. With rising seas threatening to engulf low-lying shores, the government aims to buy 832 hectares of private land in the Ebro Delta in what would be Europe's largest climate-related land buyouts to date "We don't know if we will make it through this winter," said Marcela who wants the government to preserve the land and opposes a plan to buy it out instead.
