Problem is that even if you get one free with a packet of cornflakes, you'll still have to pay purchase taxes set at some arbitrary value by the council, and you'll have running costs and maybe imputed taxes on top of those.

Insane. Have a look on Google Maps street view and it's even worse. When you walk along Av Barcelona (right side from Av Jardin) some Images are from July 2013 and the place is dead. There are hundreds of these blocks scattered around.

Top gear did an episode in Spain and showed a lot of the empty estates & unused airports --> http://www.tubeplus.me/player/212289...e_3/Episode_3/

Saw this place on Spanish tv last week, they said it was the worst in Spain for debt and apartments being taken back by the bank, run a mile or should that be a kilometre

If I recall it showed one estate and one Airport. You could drive around here and you can see areas like this, not near as bad but still empty blocks and apartments / boarded up shops, no cars around.

High Rise, Low Prospects. Wouldn't touch it with a 40ft barge pole.

The photos and story are a little deceptive. We were there for an afternoon in summer 2012. We were staying in nearby Oropesa del Mar and drove over for a peek. There were plenty of people around and lots of activity. Although there were a few empty and under-construction buildings.

If the photos were taken recently, then that was during the off-season. So it makes sense that it was fairly deserted. I think the place was mostly a summer resort.
