    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     These images from the town of Estepona in the Costa Del Sol, Spain, show the extent of dereliction in the area. iReporterpietpsphotos says he estimates at least 15 shops in one small stretch have closed, while the number of abandoned or unsold apartments is most likely much more. The mood of those living in the area, he says, is "resigned". "They see things going down. Tourism is not what is used to be and people are losing jobs," he said.
    - sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer

    today was a very dull and grey day and all seemed in, even more, decay. mist and almost empty beaches were not helping to cheer things up. promises made some years ago on billboards were never completed. now today we know that it will probably last another generation of politicians.
