A booming Spanish Industry

As the weather warms up a phenomenon occurs in Spain. As you know Spain is a Catholic country, however, they do turn a ‘blind eye’ to the oldest profession in the world.
The phenomenon of the roundabout girls appears. Certain roundabouts and on other parts of the main roads girls appear under umbrellas happily displaying their wares. Here is an article from the local English press.
Prostitution Boom
The Andalucian Association of Human Rights (APDHA) in Almeria has reported that more woman are becoming prostitutes due to the economic crisis.
The association attends more than 500 woman with their health initiative. They have seen more and more woman entering prostitution for the first time, and more of them are locals, as well as Nigerians, Romanians, Moroccans, and Senegalese, most of them between the ages of 20 and 30. They are earning two euros less per ‘job’ than before, at eight euros.
There are also more woman arriving from such cities as Madrid and Barcelona where police are cracking down on the trade and banning it from certain areas.
