The Guardia Civil has arrested a man in Pinos Puentes (near Granada) for allegedly charging 24,000 euros for a series of construction jobs that were never carried out. Why 24,000 and not a nice round 25,000 euros? Because 24,000 euros is exactly 4-million, die-hard pesetas – even after so many years, people might use euros, but they continue to ‘think’ in pesetas.
