A worker cleans fuel from stained rocks on the La Maruca coast in the province of Santander in northern Spain February 7, 2003. The oil spill from the sunken Prestige tanker is washing up onto one of Europe's best surfing spots - [the Basque coast of south-west France] - where cleanup workers in protective suits have replaced the usual crowds of surfers in wet suits.
