Catalonia: prostitution making headlines of the NYT

An article on prostitution and trafficking of women in La Jonquera, the main frontier town between Catalonia and France, is among the most widely read of the New York Times these days. Whereas the rest of the economy is in shambles, this "business" is flourishing, with a lot of "customers" coming over from France.
The article is thorough and shows the contradictions of Spain's policy on prostitution: the act in itself is not illegal, but pimping is. Mayors do not want to have it on their streets, but they are happy to collect taxes from certain "hotels". Trafficking with women is illegal but there are very few convictions. Even respectable newspapers have two to four pages full of small adds for "sexual services" every day.
