The Spanish artist collective known as Boa Mistura has left its mark in Montecristi. In January and February 2019, the artists mixed with the community to redesign the look of the small boats that are used for fishing and transporting tourists.
The project had the backing of the United Nations Development Programme, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Environment and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Air Europa and Blur Films contributed so that the collaborative project results could be filmed for the documentary Crossroads, carried out by the group.
