Cave Residents in Spain Organize Against Evictions

2007-01-31

Spanish police in the city of Granada have conducted at least two recent raids on a community of people living in caves in the hills above the city’s historic Albaicin district. Although the caves have been continuously inhabited for more than a thousand years, city officials say they have become too dirty and dangerous to be lived in. But local residents say the destruction of their homes has more to do with politics and tourism, and they’re organizing to save their neighborhood. From Granada, FSRN's Andrew Stelzer has the story.
