Didn’t they just have a government program to sell houses in certain cities to foreigners for 1€ because nobody in their cities would buy them? Only under the condition that they had to fix them up in a certain time period?

It is Spain as well, I googled before making the comment. Also my dad’s girlfriend has been looking into it, which is why I knew about it at all.
