A changing place

Finestrat

Finestrat has undergone some big changes in recent years. It used to be very quiet and typical Spanish. But now since the coastline of benidorm is full, they have started here with high rise buildings. On top of that where the city of vila joiosa starts a whole new city is beeing built. It will become very crowded in years to come.
