Masis throws in the towel

There is an entry in the Life in Culebrón blog last November about our Armenian pal Masis opening his restaurant in Santa Pola. Masis started off as an illegal immigrant here and had one hell of a time trying to make ends meet.

Today a text message from a friend who still lives in Santa Pola said that Masis was leaving Spain forever and going back to Armenia. Despite all his hard work the restaurant failed and he is so disillusioned that he's upped sticks and heading home. Masis has been trying to make a go of it in Spain for nearly five years now.

We rang to say goodbye and wish him luck. A sad phone call.
