  The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance is generated dynamically in a unitary coupled
channel framework with the $\pi\Sigma^*$ and $K\Xi^*$ channels in s-wave and
$\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ channels in d-wave. The dynamics of this resonance
close to and above threshold is then tested through the reactions
$K^-p\to\pi\pi\Lambda$ and a good agreement with the experimentally measured
cross section is observed.
