Spain is one of the more popular destinations for tourists all over the world. Dark handsome Spanish men, exotic Spanish ladies, excellent paella, tapa, and jamon, architecture, flamenco – all these and more are enough reasons for anyone to want to go to Spain. But did it ever occur to you to go to Spain to visit a casino?
Maybe not yet, but with this proposal to create a casino city in the region of Aragon, Spain just might become the top European destination for gambling. The project is dubbed the Gran Scala and features casino cum hotels, theme parks, and of course, a horse racing track. If the plan pushes through, this casino entertainment complex will be the largest of its kind in the whole of Europe.
Naturally, opposition has already been announced. One reason is that the site for the complex is located near a small village. The priest of the village, Father Lorenzo surprisingly states that it could be good in terms of the economy – jobs and all that. He says, however, that the moral implications could very well go the opposite way. He refrains from issuing a strong opinion, however, and says that the moral development will depend entirely on the individual.
As for the rest of the villagers? It seems that many are in favor of it, perhaps largely due to the fact that unemployment is quite high in the country these days. For the rest of the gambling world, it is another thing to look forward to in the future.
