“Canada Real Galiana is a 16km-long, 75m-wide strip of economic and social misery. Believed to be Europe’s largest shanty town, it is a mere 15-minute drive from Madrid city centre. ‘This place reminds me of one of the most run-down slums in Guatemala I used to work in,’ says Susana Camacho, who works for Fundacion Secretariado Gitano (FSG), a local NGO.”
