A good friend who knew Spain really well told me if she could live anywhere in Spain, she would choose Sevilla. That's why we checked it out... and fell in love. Our life down here is much better in many ways, but we still love Sevilla. So worth a visit.

But, of course, some people manage to slip by the rules (like when renovating old houses and discovering Roman artifacts). Sadly, here in Fuengirola a lot of major construction went on in the 1970s with little respect for what was found or had to be moved. Things are much better now, but a lot of ancient structures were built over.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-52006210334316320122015-01-23T19:03:13.288+01:002015-01-23T19:03:13.288+01:00Michael:

The artifacts would be removed and the construction would continue. We don't treasure our history in the way that Europeans do, if something's old - tear it down and replace it. <br /><br />And I love "The Mushrooms"!

So they built the subway station around it and added informational displays. So when commuters change lines at that station, they walk right by an amazing archaeological site and sight.Michael Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942287172727040371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-19327686455439897922015-01-14T22:13:11.901+01:002015-01-14T22:13:11.901+01:00What a great blend of the old and the new.
