Abandoned House in El Raso urb ??

Is these urbanisation in Guardamar del Segura, Alicante?

Are you been evicted by BBVA now? If you need, we can review your documents and tell you if you have an action

If you are referring to the large old finca by the roundabout,then this was home to the family that were land owners in the area prior to it becoming the urbanisation that is El Raso today.

i think there is an El Raso Facebook page or similar in existence where I once seen photos going back to circa 1950s and the house looked very grand indeed. I understand the land surrounding the house produced various spices or similar plants that were used to produce ingredients for the production of perfumes.

maybe you can do some digging at Guardamar town hall or even try Manolos restaurant on the Lemon tree Road as  you enter or leave El Raso, as it too was originally a family owned barbers business in 1940s / 1950s.

Best Wishes

Hi,

Looking for info about El Raso I've found a link about your question...

A brief introductión about myself..: I'm 66 now and I know the story of El Raso. I've been there during several years because my father was the manager for administering the  property and we used to go there in the summer holidays. At that time the property was owned by the Puerto Galiano family. They owned the license from Bayer to import aspirin in sapin and they made lots of money.

This family had relationships and family in the Guardamar and Torrevieja areas, so they decided to invest around...and they bought Finca el Raso to Elisa Ornstein Trapote, widow of Mr. Joaquin Chapaprieta, who died four or five years before.

Joaquin Chapaprieta was a Lawyer, Senator and Prime Minister of Spain who died in 954, one year before my birth !!!

Anyway, I've lots of stories of my childhood and youth, even pictures and digitised 8mm films where my father was recording the evens. The first ones in B/W and with a camera with a spring motor thas oly coul do shoots of less tahn one minute each.

If you are inrested in these docs, pls don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards.

P.S: To see El Raso today thru gmaps is for me a remebering of Back to the Future II, with an urbanized environment where we enjoyed to have walks in an old horse cart that the owners allowed us to use because there was only field and dirt roads ....
