Hey, just push a load of rubble over the side of a mountain and a couple of months later build a supermarket on it. :rofl::rofl:

Frightens the life out of me jdr, one minute a untouched mountain, next a cut with the spill pushed over the edge then 6 months later a villa and pool hanging on the side for dear life.....sounds like my place !!! :eek:

I went to a clients villa in Elviria on the coast side below Las Chapas, not to far from you jdr.

Outside the villa for the length of the road they were digging a trench, I notice piles of sand, not earth sand.

I looked in the trench and the tarmac was maybe 1-2 inch thick, then sand:(

And that area is crammed with villa`s, large nice villa.

All probably about to sink soon.:blink:

I`m no expert on foundations but building on sand, that does explain wht the orange tree roots are sticking up through the road and causing the paved areas to rise though.
