Granadilla, abandoned town, main square (Cacares Province, Extremadura).
Abandoned due to a 1950s reservoir drowning its farmland. Now a (minor) tourist destination and a few people work here in the summer catering for the few tourists and keeping the place tidy. But there are no restaurants or shops (not such a bad thing!) and although the fields and orchards found between the walls are still tended, no one lives here any more.

In fact more than 50% of Spain's villages and even towns in some cases have been left derelict because of the 150 year relentless drive to find work which means moving to the cities.
