SPAIN, Alicante, Colonia Sta. Isabel, in 1965

My Dutch family visits the subsidized flat buildings on the c. San Vicente del Raspeig, offered for sale at around € 2400 in 1964. Payment in instalments allowed! Thereafter visit to Villafrangeza. My mother was fond of visiting flats for sale!

Mr. Rogge thank you for sharing this fabulous video

Hello Michael,
I'm from Alicante and this videos are fascinating.
I work nowadays near this buildings, and all around is very different now.
My father lived in San Vicente and remember this old road and the streecar.
The small village at the end of the video seems to be Villafranqueza, a small village near Alicante.
Thank you for uploading this videos.

Indeed there was in the distance a little (military?) airport. Barajas or something? I'm glad that I recorded the oldtime layout.

In front of those buildings were a little airport in 1960s, nowadays there is a shopping center, the University of Alicante, and an motorway.
The little road now is now a four-line road, and the streetcar dissapeared in 1970s, but curiously now is building it again.

Thanks for your update. Indeed now I remember, it was Villafranqueza. wonder whether that looks the same?

1965 ? Etes-vous sûr ? J'ai vécu dans un appartement de la colonia santa Isabel. Je pense que la construction date de 1963 ou 1964

Glad to hear that. What was the name of the airfield?

Y ahora es el mayor centro de distribución de drogas de todo Alicante... Menuda "maravilla" de barrio

[@sinmas1710]

Disculpa, yo vivo aquí y el mayor centro de distribución de drogas son las mil viviendas y la virgen del Remedio, esta maravilla de "barrio" y la gente que vive en él, no toda trapichea con drogas, nadie te va a ofrecer nada, a no ser que andes buscando, como pasa en cualquier barrio campeón
