SALOME PAGAN ARACIL P9// UA

THESIS The TN spiral is a project not realized. It is localized in the Salinas de Marchamalo (however its original location is San Pedro del Pinatar). The porpouse is improve the environment giving an alternative to natural therapies in the edge of the salines.

Some learnings of school happens in the Spiral The students of the school go to the salinas to analyze the water. We project that they can carry out activities in the spiral.

Spiral, go in symbiosis with bussines The shops close in winter due to the lack of tourists. We plan to attract people and be a commercial focus to enhance competition.

Spiral, revitalize the Menor Sea The Mar Menor is contaminated. We plan to create a lung or sea scrubber that sustains the lost balance.

Spiral, is part of the Ruta Verde The Green Route is a project not carried out to join the Manga of the Mar Menor with the unification and creation of walks. We plan that the spiral can become part of the Route by encouraging outdoor activities.

Spiral, preserve salt tradition The tradition and salt culture is being lost from this area. We plan that these activities can be carried out and this memory be valued.

A DESCENT INTO THE MAELSTROM “They knew me no more than they would have known a traveller from the spirit-land. My hair, which had been raven-black the day before, was as white as you see it now. They say too that the whole expression of my countenance had changed. I told them my story —they did not believe it. I now tell it to you —and I can scarcely expect you to put more faith in it than did the merry fishermen of Lofoden.”

‘Listen!’ “At first I could not make out what he meant —but soon a hideous thought flashed upon me. I dragged my watch from its fob.

It was not going. I glanced as its face by the moonlight, and then burst into tears as I flung it far away into the ocean. It had run down at seven o’clock! We were behind the time of the slack, and the whirl of the Strom was in full fury!

“How often we made the circuit of the belt it is impossible to say. We careered round and round for perhaps an hour, flying rather than floating, getting gradually more and more into the middle of the surge, and then nearer and nearer to its horrible inner edge.”

Edgar Allan Poe

“That is the meening of the spiral”
