Popular among tourists Spanish resort Costa del Sol is increasingly associated not only with sunny beaches, but also with organized crime. Local media, citing the opinion of former police officer Juan Jose Gomez Millan, warn of the growing danger to vacationers.
The Costa del Sol has attracted criminal elements since the “Great Train Robbery” in 1963, gradually becoming a strategic point for drug trafficking to Europe, according to the expert. The proximity of Gibraltar and Morocco only exacerbates the situation, creating favorable conditions for criminal activity.
In this regard, tourists are advised to be especially vigilant when choosing places for recreation and walks on the Costa del Sol.
Recall, earlier, the blackout in Spain led to the shutdown of the reactor of a nuclear power plant in France. Meanwhile, the crisis in the real estate market in Spain led to an increase in housing prices.
