COSTA NOSTRA
Unscripted podcast
SYNOPSIS:
The Spanish Costa del Sol is a magnet for tourists and a showcase for luxury and relaxation. One of the most visited tourist destinations in the world. Sun, beach, quality of life, and the most sophisticated glamour one can imagine. However, there is also a Costa del Sol that does not appear on the map. A place that Europol ranks among the most violent areas in Europe, with 33 murders for settling scores between 2018 and 2021. A war for control of the territory has been taking place here for years between the police and more than 100 criminal groups of 59 nationalities, which increasingly share more resources and operations. Throughout ten episodes, the journalist Antonio Pampliega will learn the stories of the drug traffickers, gangsters, and police who live and work on these 90 kilometers of beach. A trip to the hidden side of the Sunshine Coast.
