My brother speaks fluent Spanish and lives in a Spanish town, they treat him like a local but 5 miles away there is a development of new houses, apartments and shops (about 1,500 properties) and there is not one Spaniard in the place.
The properties were not offered for sale in Spain, they were sold in the UK, Germany and Sweden. I am told no one in this development speaks Spanish and all the shops are owned and run by foreigners (non Spanish).
There is 20% unemployment in Spain and the Spanish are getting seriously miffed by these goings on.
Where have I heard all this before, it's not just us that moan about free movement but Spain is in hock up to it's eye balls and cannot leave the EU.
