let’s talk about tourism and brick
and we do it with the firm intention of
that in about ten minutes
he is as surprised as we are
when we started a year ago to work
in the bubble beach project a trip
that helped us now question or
affirmations that at first seem
questionable for example I put you a
example , tourism generates wealth that
this is true
in fact they say the data the tourism
contributes to the GDP according to the latest data
sectorized 112,000 million euros at
year and if you add it we add the activity
that induces in other sectors
the figure reaches 171 thousand 500 million
euros that is 16% of the GDP of all the
little country since a statement the
tourism generates employment
man that also true in the year
2016 the tourism sector of form
direct employment to almost 2.2 million
people
imagine if we also add other
productive sectors linked to tourism
how could the construction of
second home the coast
another example for example corruption
good in this country you have the
feeling perfectly because what
we see every day in the media
information that fighting
corruption thanks to the amount of
cases that are seen every day in the
means in the courts
I give you an example here too
Spain has a very big attraction
for tourists especially for
foreigners is very good for
economy
75 million and five million people
who visited our last year
country every year beat a new
record
in fact that figure has already been reached
this year with which in 2017
we will be able to beat the record again
of foreign visitors in our
country and with respect to corruption
going back to the beginning
notice that Spain is a country where
there are big cases of corruption where
we can of the Malay case
perhaps it is currently in process
I think we can travel the coast of
province trial trial province
affirmations like these that are very
simple that every very easy opinion
public
the truth that when we scratch the
life and we see a little the nuances and data
that is not currently used in this
speech well we see that this kind of
formations stop being as firm as
the good principle in that we have
found a topic when you get a
theme as tourism that is also
very involved with all urbanism in
the coast tries to look at it from a
different perspective like the one we
can show this image that you are
seeing e is generated with a certain
criticism because it seems that it is
doing against the general interest
because they are economically so sectors
powerful as we’ve been seeing for
the numbers that go against tourism and
against urbanism then quickly
can accuse us is a warning and
recently for example tourism
bubble beach phobia is a trip a trip
on a motorcycle for the 2,000 kilometers of
mediterranean peninsular coast that
started with a goal that is to capture
an image an image of the future
which is how the coast was in the
moment of the bubble burst
capture therefore the skeletons of buildings
the macrourbanizations in areas that
they are isolated from any kind of
municipality the life of those who are
there
that image that has remained to all a
little because we did not want to do now
because it is now or never
the brick sector is being
reactivating again and probably
in ten years
that profile that we now see on the coasts
it will not be the same
if we find something much more
important people person who does not
will help to provide content these
images and that helped us
question if what we had read
the story that I myself have seen
they really give some
for example those that we fill if the
tourist model generates wealth because
talks a lot about investments and little about
spending in Spain happens every time
that there is a temporary due to the amount
of breakwater ports that must be broken
the dynamics of the coastline between water and
the sand does not come out very expensive I do not know if you
you agree late 2006 and early
2007
the storms like the coast
Mediterranean or repair us
cost almost 30 million euros and that
it’s getting more and more
and another problem that we have found is
that is becoming generalized for example
for the regeneration of this beach
the use of quarry sand what it does
that the beaches do not look does not regenerate
so
correct and the quality of it every
time to be worse
as very well said antonio is that
besides the images the important thing
the stories of the people that we have
found our trip and we want
share with you some of them
for example one of the great shows that
we had during the trip when in full
high season that was in the last
week of july
we arrived at the beach of Babylon in
Guardamar del segura we meet
here with a war zone
the size of Babylon in the past
temporary that Antonio commented on
2020 end of 2016 and 2017 will
reached the sea to the houses that are in
that beach that are houses that started
be built in the 30s of the century
past
and good at home for example of Carmen
molina where we were there was already
on the porch as so normal with his
rocking that cars because I was
totally fallen and the house next door
had totally collapsed to the
facade why this happens
good to start with the effect of the sea
that is creating a regression in the
beaches that normally what is done is
away the sea of houses on
everything that have been constructions
through the sand trucks that
commented Antonio what happens that this
model that we have created
it is tremendously arbitrary there are beaches
where txarrena beaches where not and the
problem that people of the size have
of Babylon is that in the year 94 it
he built a breakwater in the
mouth of the safe a jetty that
it is done in reverse as we have
explained the experts and in fact every
once they have requested the impact report
environmental do not find it
he witnesses what he does is that the
sediments that they sell by the safe river
and the sand that by the dynamics of
coastline should move to size
vilonia is trapped in the jetty
and it does not arrive as well as nobody else
trucks the houses are in the state
that you can see there is a legal issue that
the government has recognized the
dealers of the house of the
Babylon of what happens with their homes and
is that according to the current law of costs in
the year 2018 the sea has trapped your house
has come to hit her she can not
renew the concession so they are
letting the sea do its work
as you can see another picture
Antonio now opposes what has happened in
the beach the Babylon is not very
different from what we can see here that
is the beach of lesvesves however
like this urban land to the other
deveses them as they own the
homes the ones that have a there
a construction quickly every time
that there is a temporary sand trucks
we replenish the beach we fix the
homes that we have found more
even for example the moraira beach is
novelty that is fairly protected not
you know him very closed and is with
which when a temporary the effects
they really are not as strong as these
that are used to open beaches and what
that the neighbors of
moraira who are very worried
because the city council took advantage of the
last temporary to say I
I also want sand truck
came the sand sand trucks from
quarry certainly why because the
City Hall wants the beach to grow
so that more tourists enter so that
There’s more business but quarry sand
transformed a water that when we passed
the first time was completely
transparent in a murky water that is
also affecting Prairie
posidonia so be careful with the model
that we have chosen for something so
important as tourism and also
we listen to the job and we do not talk
only from the floor maids the
commonly known as those he and
the changes or the waitresses
if we have said example where even the
employment plan argument is so
powerful that is used to justify
investments in areas where there is a
unemployment problem
is a very clear example that we have
found of this when we went through the
municipality of carboneras in almería
where he gets up I do not know if he knows him is
the algarrobico hotel is a hotel that
takes many years to the night of his
demolition
one is the one that is raised in full
natural park of cabo de gata-níjar and
less than 20 meters from the edge of the
sea
every time someone questioned
before we had sentences in
firm of the supreme as we have now
every time someone questioned the
legality on all associations
ecologists of this hotel quickly
manifestations of people from the
village that we now know were
let’s say more organized by the
previous town hall and especially for
the promoter of the hotel that allowed them
enter inside demonstrations saying
because you do this to the people that
we need employment and we are
affecting wanting to throw this hotel
has two ways a problem of
unemployment then in our trip
sitting there talking to people
from the municipality we have discovered that no
carboneras is a privileged municipality
all Andalusia because it has a
industry that they would like
many other municipalities of this
region has a cement company has a
It has a thermal power plant
biodiesel and at the moment in which
was producing the attempt of the
for the construction of the hotel
we were in the high peaks of the
bubble and coal bunkers has 128
unemployed who consider themselves this
country zero unemployment in a population of
5,000 people with which there was no
absolute an employment problem and fix or
what arguments used is used
for decades tomás maester
the father of the manga of the lesser sea
said that more birds will
worried the children who passed
hungry because the parents did not have
job
how it all ended was in
suspension of payments and I paid paying
to its suppliers with land in the
manga caused the disaster
urbanistic that today in the manga of the sea
less
another of the truths that we said before
of the claims had to do with
foreign tourists and visitors
that come from outside because because when
we try to open this debate we
we find that one of the
main criticisms that are received every
once you try to find ways to
improve this sector to improve the
urbanism on the coast they say that
is spoiling the image of Spain
abroad and that that can affect
negatively to the economy
and then he took us to ask us if
we have really taken care of that image
if the foreign visitors that come
have been for years this country will
we have left a good image of how
they are treated
well just for giving a fact in the
year 2005 were accumulated in the commission
European 15 thousand citizen complaints
for the treatment they have
received in your investments on the coast
by the urban regulations that
here we had people who had
forced to sell his private property and
just compensation or people to the
I had discovered why I do not know
they did things correctly and a
housing that had suddenly bought
it was illegal and did about it even though it’s
very difficult to throw anything in this country
there was certainly the risk of a
demolition
this that led to reports like the
report fortune auken report that they were
very critical with Spain and that also
they did not move
the action because they forced it to
will change certain standards besides had a
great social response that has had
relatively little impact
means such as, for example, the one
there was in the high marina district and
this region is a clear example of a
urban development weight in the
tourism when we think of a
golden retreat we think of a house a
house near the sea and watching at dawn
every day the reality very different
a lot of the people who are in
withdrawal abroad in the navy
high are European retirees many of
they british that because of the pressure
have lost and the depreciation of the
Libra have lost almost 20 percent
of your monthly pension
we have spoken with local NGOs
with associations with local entities
as the municipal is that they tell us that
more and more cases of foreigners
British people who live only not
They arrive later this month and over not
having a social network has very difficult
return to their countries of origin
we also question the issue of
corruption if really spain fight
in an efficient way against
corruption
notice that we talk a lot about the
amount of judgments there are but little
the consequences and really Spain
fight against corruption
yes after many decades after
many of these causes have not yet been
resolved
Well, the answer is on the map
that will show us now antonio
Jesus is the map of Marbella
those little red dots are buildings in the
that are some of the 30 thousand
illegal homes that are in marbella
these homes come from the time of
the legislatures of the independent group
liberal gil gil there have been several
attempts to regularize those homes
that was allowed for years to be
they grew everywhere and in fact that
they were illegal
but how they were made in the way that
It was done by trying compensation
more or less agreed with the promoters
for the supreme final he threw everything not
they have been able to regularize with us
we found the Malay operation that
ended with these group legislatures
independent liberal began to
end of 2005
We are in 2017 has not been compensated
those affected by that corruption are not
knocked down nothing
and one thing even more serious to our
from our point of view that is that
is it so
the illegals the sentences that weigh
about them they do not register in the
property registration
and that it is mandatory that because
so you can keep buying and
selling without the buyer seeing it
simple note with which the
business we find the story
by carmen suárez who is a woman of 33
years of marbella who had a house of
little girl of a plant that everything
I saw the sea on the horizon
here in the gil he built it to 80
centimeters of the railing in his
terrace a 12- storey building that
it was of course illegal he denounced
from the first moment separated
temporarily the work removed the judge
that the work had paid for that
term houses were sold and today
we already have two sentences known from
ten years ago they say that the
housing is illegal one for the criminal that
covered administrative contentious
carmen is not indemnified the building to
Despite the final judgments, it remains
there and what they do is dizzy the
City Council paperwork in the
judged without there being any solution
and this is just one case of the hundreds
that are the courts of what
happened in this municipality
for example that image that you see in the
photo from the terrace of Carmen where
can see exactly what’s inside
of the building opposite is a
less than 80 centimeters
these are the conclusions we have and
let’s start with each one of
they not for example in terms of
wealth if we do not consider what type
of model we are doing for example
As for the regeneration of the coast
every time will be a major investment and the
beach will be of lower quality and as
to employment
if we continue using the job as
argumentation to make investments and
the high peaks of the bubble
precisely what we are encouraging
it’s a sector that has taught us that
when those bubbles burst what
generates its big problem of unemployment and
as for foreign tourism if not
we take care of our visitors novoa
we promote quality tourism
Spain stops being such a destination
attractive as now and of course with
regarding corruption if decades
then those who have paid the least
duck are the promoters and you see that the
consequences has not been fought against
they the message to the future is that they are going to
to be able to repeat what happened
the truth is very different the
Mediterranean coast when traveling in
time and space and many of the
affirmations nothing
In the beginning, they are less and less
firm one very important thing that we
we have found on this trip that no
it has to do only with what has
happened in the past but we’re
seeing strong indications that it is
repeating attitudes that were already
in that past facing the future
I will give an example from here of the
Valencian community there is a struggle in
some cases even violent
physically it has been seen in
images of the Valencian courts of
promoters of land owners that are
they were unable to make buildings
just when the bubble burst
certain political groups against
a regulation of the generalitat that
aims to protect the first kilometer
from the coast of being rebuilt
with that ferocity that was done in the
years of the bubble
let’s learn from this reality of
history of the people and do not repeat the
history of the Mediterranean coast
if we want this statement is that
we did at the beginning in the future
close each time they are more real
thank you very much
and
