LA RAYA
London 1896. The British Cartographic Society decides to establish the zero meridian at Greenwich. But of course, that line already has a home in Orchilla (El Hierro): Don Agustín the lighthouse keeper is not interested, or as he himself explains, do the English want to take the line? Well, either the Queen of England comes to get it in person, or God won’t take it!
