. Luis Vázquez 'Curro' and Raúl Serrano are the two creators who bring the documentary and exhibition 'Luz del Mar. the history of the last farmers', a job with which the authors have wanted Tell the story of the headlights through the voice of those who live and work around them. Not only do they portray the ‘Torreros’, but also their relatives, fishermen, artists and writers who have developed their work around this topic.
The authors portray the reality of those who consider ‘last heirs’ of an office of many centuries and with a very important trajectory in the history of worldwide navigation that provide a very important cultural and technical legacy.
