The Effects of the Crisis


Take a look at the latest effect of the crisis. :o)
This new locale, Casa del Mar, was only a few weeks ago a real estate office. Granted, it never looked open and I'm not sure if they ever sold anything, but it had pictures of houses and apartments in the window. Due to the substantial drop in home sales, being reported all through Spain, it's no surprise that it would head towards closing (as many real estate offices have done in the past few months here in Toledo). But what actually happened is quite interesting.

Casa del Mar is a chocolate bar, that sells bread, with a corner that is devoted to its previous activity of selling houses, that also offers internet access. Just a bit of everything here.

**We haven't been, but might make a investigatory trip soon!
