There was no way of going back; Indonesia as we had known it did not exist anymore. So those people started thinking of other possibilities. Many of them went to California, Hawaii, Australia. There was a small group who thought of the South of Spain.
In 1962 they bought 53 hectares of land for 10 million pesetas (about €60,000) called El Atabal.
The mayor, Francisco Garcia Grana, laid the first stone on 1 April.
The whole land was divided into 500 plots, connected by small winding roads which they called calle Sumatra, calle Java, calle Padang, calle Bogor, plaza Reina Juliana, and so on The English Speaking Club of Malaga: My Neighbourhood.

Beste Louky, het is nu vijf jaar later. Maar: zou ik wat dingen aan je mogen vragen over El Atabal? Ik schrijf een boek waar deze plek in voorkomt. Veel dank voor je reactie! Vriendelijke groet van Lizzy van Leeuwen
O ja natuurlijk!

Ik zie dit nu pas!
I have never heard about this enclave, but what a great idea. If I had not received a job offer from South California, I still would have left the Netherlands. Main choice was east of Italy and then Spain.
