    Yes, I was there in Torrevieja about 3 weeks ago. I had a walk around and to be honest, I felt depressed looking at those buildings.

    Great video Barry.
    You wouldn't believe how many people suggest I go do the squatting thing given my situation. But I just can't imagine breaking into property, causing damage or loss of value or utility to a property owner.
    I'll stick with my tent on empty land, despite the Guardia Sizzle's recent behaviour.

    Arrived back on Friday from a week in Torrevieja. I must admit does it look worse in the rain on your video. We had a week of sun. The graffiti is an issue in the town but there was very little in the way of litter and not as much dog poo as I was expecting. North and South of Torrevieja are places like La Mata and La Zenia which are much tidier.

    Always good to show these things Barry. I think the graffiti is pretty bad now in many parts of Torrevieja. I have raised it with the Council a few times and they just don’t seem to take the issues seriously enough. Torrevieja has always had some graffiti in the 22 years I have had a house there, but do think it has become worse. I was in Malaga recently and it is much the same there in parts and even on Historical buildings which is unbelievable.
    Sadly it is a cultural thing that seems to be accepted and tolerated which is sad. It doesn’t help tourism and does not help the locals.
    As far as squatters are concerned they seem to be everywhere now where there is an empty space, they fill it.
    Always watch all your videos with a lot of interest. Keep up the good work

    Spot on video that. Goes to show it’s the same the world over . I remember being in Las Vegas years ago and the strip is amazing and Fremont st also impressive but the bit in between both you wouldn’t go walking around especially not at night. There were bail bond shops everywhere so it did tell a story.

    On that very run down street 18yrs ago was a small family B&B. The dowstairs was for the family & upstairs for guests. We had memorable times there & it's such a shame to see it as is is now. Also back then, the street after to the left & right was full of cheap shoe shops & lingerie shops.
    Are they still there?

    Interesting video Barry but as you say, every town has it's dark side. Even Benidorm has a very dark side and it's called Playmon Fiesta. One of the first high rise developments built in Benidorm in th early 70's. Bloques F and G are a definite no go area full of squaters, criminals, drug dealers and prostitutes.Even the Police don't go there. A frightening place.

    Sadly squatters are all over Spain which they try and keep quiet. You get no help from Guardia Civil from first hand experience . Had squatters in my wife's dad's fiat in Galicia. As we were in Torrevieja at the time, done an anunsia at police station but weren't getting anywhere. No language barrier as wife is Spanish.

    It will improve sooner than you think, Torrevieja is the fastest growing city in Spain, some places in costa del Sol are not far off, is comparable to Fuengirola alot of empty streets in the outer part loads of closed down shops run down buildings some whole building taken over by gypsies too

    walked through punta prima on the way to the beach couple of days ago, spotted someone scaling a fence into someone's property, i guess squatting there.
