Is the wall damp or are you trying to paint over lime paint?  I'm not a painter/decorator  but perhaps a covering of kyro Krill (Like a pva) would help it stick, if surface is rough, dabbing paint on with a round brush.. ??

Had similar issues as all sorts had been applied by previous owners so scraped most off, tried normal paint no good as flaked after a week or two, tried pva solution no good and a proper stabilisation solution but still no long term result, tried special damp covering paint but again after a while it flaked.  Gave up and wallpapered the room, that worked lol. Ideal situation if have the money (sadly I don't) is to tile part way up the walls.  In a room with with one flaky wall I stripped what I could then put tongue and groove wood along affected wall.  That has proved successful thus far!

You could speak to the people in supinbox paint shop they might have a recommendation.  Traditional cortijos are very different to other builds.  The consensus elsewhere on the net is trying to damproof is both a waste of time and prohibitively expensive. Hope you have some success.

I had a similar problem in my old Cortijo,the thing is unless you can dry the property out completely with an industrial de-humidifier (this can take weeks)then you are on a loser.and means taking any old plaster/yeso off

there are 2 ways to go 'tank' the room with a plastic spray(expensive) then decorate,or paint the walls with a 'tar' based paint and 'dry line' which sadly takes away the character

What did I do?

I got a de-humidifier,moved out, then painted again,BUT it only lasted 6 months as I was built into a mountain

you have to move out because the de-humidifier sucks the moisture out of everything including you
