Photo Gallery - Ugly

I've missed the last couple of weeks of Sticky Finger's Photo Gallery, but I'm back!

Not a particularly uncommon site on the Spanish Costas, however nowadays there is a huge difference.



Before, the buildings were work in progress. Now they are derelict and desserted. A stark reminder if ever we needed one, of the depressing state of the Spanish economy and the greed of both big building companies and the banks that backed them.

The building was started shortly after we moved to the village, nearly four years ago. The front half is fully completed but the back half has just been abandoned. Not one of the 40 apartments have been sold. It's been in this state, frozen in time, for over a year. It isn't the only one in the village, although it is the largest and sadly it's the view from our back roof terrace.
