Palma.—At least 95 families were evicted every day in Spain in 2014, fresh statistics say as Spaniards struggle to meet mortgage payments.
Home foreclosures have become a stark symbol of the 7-year economic crisis, with 2014 seeing a further rise in numbers.
The number of foreclosures on all types of residences, including holiday homes, offices and farms, reached 119,442 last year, almost 10 percent higher than in 2013, according to data from the National Statistics Institute.
