Description
Hello again!
Another street scene of the old part of Algeciras. Maybe Paco de Lucia and his brothers lived in the neighborhood, who knows?
I visited Algeciras at first in 1979 with a school comrade when we traveled to Morocco. I came back with my wive in 2011 und again in 2013, more than 30 years after my first visit.....
The old part of Algeciras is at some places in a bad condition, there are construction works at every corner - and some houses are so damaged that we lose them forever...
It is a very strange situation between the times; between the old days and that new, clean, expensive future - or not.
I like this special stadium between the old glory and the total collapse (or a new beginning), when graffiti sprayers decorate these old walls and a whole bunch of cultural news tell about live here. Please notice the poem at the right corner:
"THE LOVE IS A TERRIBLE INFERNO" -
in Berlin, in L.A. and even in Algeciras 2011......
Thanks for your interest and your nice comments for my last picture here. I was very glad. Have a nice weekend!

A very visually exciting image!
so many to see in this and with your informations even more! great street view picture!
Excellent photo.
Great idea with the posters, they really enhance the mood.
Really good picture! The wall phrase actually says "El amor es un perro del Infierno" which In english means "Love is a Hell's dog"
