About 5,000 Brits are living in “appalling” conditions in Mazarrón in Murcia, according to the Socialist PSOE party, which is urging the regional government to step in and take control.

Residents on Mazarrón’s Camposol development have been campaigning for around 10 years for a solution to structural problems affecting roads and houses on the 4,000- home development which is built on the Los Aznares river bed.

  1. Looking @moving to composol. but are concerned about on going horror stories are these reports still on going??? Is it safe to buy here

  2. Get a full survey done before committing to anything. It is quite isolated and the motorway runs through the centre of the complex. The main point is the golf course, which is why the development was built.
