The Publishing Service of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa has released 'Criaturas del jable', a collective work featuring poetry, short stories, and lyrical essays centered around the 'jable', a sand corridor of marine origin.

The publication, which connects nature, territory, and identity, takes this unique ecosystem, stretching from Famara to the island's eastern coasts, as its starting point. Through the voices of twelve authors, the book delves into the biodiversity of the 'jable', its traditional agricultural uses, and the transformations threatening its balance, from environmental degradation to tourist pressure.
'Criaturas del jable' offers a literary approach to a landscape that holds a part of Lanzarote's memory and the ways of life that have grown within it.
The authors featured in this work are Lana Corujo, Alexis de la Cruz Otero, Macarena Nieves Cáceres, Mare Cabrera Corredera, Daniela Martín Hidalgo, Fabio Carreiro Lago, Ángel Fernández Benéitez, Juli Mesa, Rafael Santiago, Antonio Martín Medina, Viejo José Mosegue, and José María de Páiz.
