😊 Hello, I wonder if anyone can share some unbias wisdom about buying a bar in tne costa del sol and what areas are better or worse for business? I notice there are many bars for sale in benalmadena and while Im aware there will be various reasons surely it cant all be to do with lack of tourism or recession? I only want a small starter place really Im prepared to work hard as Ive run bars in the uk and as long as I can make a decent living I would be happy. All ideas welcome. Many thanks, Maria

Now the bar in madrid is empty most night only for Fri /sat night , that could down bad dj aswell . now my exboss is only guy that still make money hand over hand over fist why his dad told him Recession you alwas make money , hard work but not the PUB Game
