Looks like a huge animal skeleton and can be seen in the distance near the sea from GC-1 motorway passing alongside Telde. In the middle of a current industrial zone.La CINSA was a dirty dangerous chemical manufacturer plant for making fertiliser, they paid their employees a pittance and the chimneys spouted toxic ash into the environment and dumped effluent into the sea.  Tons of pyrites from Africa were transported there and used to make sulphuric acid used for making nitrates. The impurites from the process include heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium. It was abandoned in the early 80s when production transferred to the spanish mainland, doing everyone here a big favour.  There are still there tons of raw product there lightly covered with topsoil and leaching into the sea. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=telde+nave+cinsa+medio+ambiente&sxsrf=APq-WBv1fFIuxyqjTwuK8LBm84zVVfD4dQ%3A1650201113135&ei=GRJcYu3wB5m3sAfvqgU&oq=telde+nave+cinsa+medio+ambiente" target="_blank">Google search telde nave cinsa medio ambiente </a>     will find background history.Photogenic   modelling photos use it as a backdrop.  This part of the island (Telde) has many derelict abandoned structures.</blockquote>
