    It is sad to see for sure. I grew up in the United States, New York, and many iconic establishments that have served millions have been forced to close but mostly due to higher rental increases. I hate to see his. I subscribe to your newsletter and enjoy reading about Andalucía and the Costa del Sol. My dream of over 30 years to move to Fuengirola is almost over. When I first spent 2 1/2 years in Europe I fell in love with this quaint fishing village. Stayed at Las Piramides which had just opened that year. It was mostly the locals, Swedish and Dutch and my best friend and I were American hippies and quite the rarity. I’m so disappointed to say that now the rents for long term occupancy there have skyrocketed and I am no longer able to afford. I pay less here in South Carolina for owning my 2 bedroom home. I am 73 and would have moved in 2026. Feel free to contact me if you wish. I have lovely photos of me there in 1970 and 1994. I stayed at Occidental this past Feb and they were wonderful to me.
