The neighborhood where taxi drivers in the 80s didn't want to go: "The companies no longer insured the shops; the pharmacies and tobacconists were like bunkers, with bars on the windows."

During the 1980s, a specific urban neighborhood in Spain became a notorious no-go zone for local taxi drivers due to severe insecurity and crime. The local commercial sector was heavily impacted, as insurance companies refused to provide coverage for neighborhood shops.

To cope with the high levels of danger and frequent crime, local businesses such as pharmacies and tobacco shops were forced to fortify their premises. These establishments operated behind heavy iron security bars, resembling heavily protected bunkers.
