Embarrassing Moment!

Hi,

About 14 years ago on my very first visit to Alicante I was driving from the Alicante Airport and when I approached a small quiet roundabout near campamore area, there was a young woman dressed normally and waved me down frantically like she was in distress, me being green I slowed down and she came running towards me, when I asked what's wrong, what's happened, she said do you want business? I said what do you mean she said, sex, no no I thought you were hurt or in trouble. I said sorry, and drove off.

When I told some friends about this the next day they laughed at me and said, you had better get used to this they are every where.

Sure enough, two out of every three roundabouts I came to had women there looking like they were lost or waiting for a lift, I soon wised up and after a few days it became normal to see and it was just one of those things you get used too.

In recent years I have never seen any girls any more, it looks like they have now stopped, which is a great thing, because it can affect property prices. 

It has never bothered me before but as I am now looking for a proroperty to buy I wondered if there were any places that should be avoided because of it being rough, violent or having ladies of the night around such areas, or indeed just have a bad reputation for one thing or another.

What I don't want is to find a place that looks fantastic in the day time, it be a real bargain, only to find that in the night time it changes.

I can't think of a better way to find out than to ask on a forum like this, because no estate agent or property businesses are ever going to tell you the truth about troubled areas or areas with bad reputations, if they want their commissions.

Thanks for reading.
