Around a dozen narco boats are currently taking shelter from the most recent storm to hit the coast of Andalucía in the Carnaje cove, in the heart of Almeria province's Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.

The boats wait for a call from those who need fuel supplies or dry clothes to continue on the illegal trafficking routes of people or narcotics. They are currently under the watchful eye of the Guardia Civil.
