About this episode

Every August, in a small town called San Cibrao, in the northern region of Galicia, Spain, people gather to celebrate a local yearly festival: the A Maruxaina. Finding a bathroom during the event, which brings together thousands of people, can be challenging - forcing many to go to discreet alleys instead. In 2019, a group of women were secretly recorded while doing it. The videos were posted on porn websites. Now, the women are seeking justice.

In this episode: 

  • Sonia Visozo, El País’ correspondent in Galicia
  • Paloma Maseda and Alba Álvarez, victims
