'Surf and turf' protest in Spain against factory, mine
Thousands of people on boats and on land staged a "surf and turf" protest in northwest Spain on Saturday against a planned textile factory and the reopening of a copper mine. Organisers -- who termed the rally a "surf and turf" protest -- said they had suspicions about the plans by Portuguese company Altri to build a factory to make lyocell, a semi-synthetic textile.
