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

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.
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.
