Police moved into one of the highest crime areas of Alicante on Monday, the Barrio del Carmen in the North of the city, to evict 65 homes which El País newspaper said had been illegally occupied. The area is known locally as the ‘callejon de la muerte,’ – ‘death alley,’ and is, according to police sources quoted by El País, a known haven for drug traffickers.The paper reports some moments of tension as police – more than a hundred officers in total - put up three metre high fencing to stop anyone going back in, and oversaw the removal of furniture from the flats. Four people were arrested.The Valencia Housing Institute, who built the blocks eight years ago, have announced a renovation programme of 3 million €.
