The Lucky Coast - Rubén Acosta

Beyond the large tourist developments, the resorts and beaches with hammocks, there are small, still virgin towns on the coast of the Canary Islands. These settlements have a unique personality and portray a lifestyle closely linked to the organic and with a strong feeling of community.

"The Lucky Coast" is a personal photographic project by Rubén Acosta and is made up of images of towns almost unknown even to the majority of residents. They are spaces of resistance to progress, far from tourist routes, on the limit of the social and natural, and that in many cases do not even appear on maps. Countercultural nuclei that survive as encapsulated in the midst of the absolute reign of hyperconnection and the massive travel industry.
