Ciudad Valdeluz | Barrio Fantasma 2022 [EP7]

"The Spanish Error 404" is a series that looks into the economic crisis that struck Spain towards the end of the early 2000s, by visiting and analyzing one of its main causes - the property bubble. The series spanning multiple episodes consists of footage shot on site of some of the most infamous white elephants in Europe - missed investments that wasted either public or private money, where the latter often came from cheap credit offered by the banks before the crisis. Each of the episodes tackles a different example of the property bubble era investments, slowly completing the picture of what exactly happened in Spain some 10 years ago. It's a story of foolish investment optimism, corruption and pure stupidity on behalf of both the private sector and the government. Episode 7 of the series focuses on Ciudad Valdeluz, one of the many urbanizations that were performed in Spain. This particular one is special though, being one of the most unfinished and abandoned ones, as well as because it's close to the capital of Spain - Madrid. The show returns to this failed urban experiment after nearly three years, to see whether or not anything has changed on site. The series is funded, written and produced independently, and presents a researched, albeit private opinion.
