Since its recent economic troubles, Spain has experienced one of its worst stages in history due to the cutbacks in the educational system, public healthcare, social services, retirement and unemployment benefits and so many more important subjects in society.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, is one of the most tourist places in Europe. The Island receives the visit of thousands of tourists every year. Most of them spend their holiday times on delightful places on the volcanic island enjoying the nice weather and all comfort that luxurious hotels near the beach can offer.

There is a whole different side of the Island where a group of people fight everyday for a better situation. These people have seen everything crumbling around them. Their jobs. Their houses. Their life. One day they found themselves with no choices and decide to build a small shack in an isolated area of Santa Cruz, the capital of the Island. The number of homeless in the city, and in the whole country has suffered a substantial increase in the last couple of years. The reason as known is the economic situation.
