That wasn't an investment. If you look at the list of so-called "Catalan" so-called "investors" in Spanair you will see a number of ex-politicians and other establishment types. It was downright theft in the best southern European style. What is sad is that it was done in the middle of an economic downturn and they used the money that used to go to RYR for that. Say what you want about RYR (you will be vastly more qualified than me to answer anyway), but as far as Girona in particular and Catalonia in general was concerned, at least they delivered. I have been to LEGE and LEDA in the last few days. The former is a ghost town and the latter is not even open.
