Deserted house in Valdemanco. There are many of these in villages all across Spain and many totally deserted villages too. A common enough story since the second half of the 19th century, but rural depopulation has accelerated exponentially these past 50 years.

I once considered doing just that as a business, Doug; buying deserted barns, bribing local councillors and getting the requisite planning permissions, taking a few photos of any already converted place, putting an ad or two in a glossy mag, and sell it, sight unseen through my dodgy estate agent connections, and hot-footing it out of the country.

I do. Which is, of course, why I took the shot, Keith!
Many thanks!

Slightly upward perspective?
Maybe. But maybe I had just gotten off the hills and had a thirst-quenching beer or three too quickly and my sense of balance might have been a little hazy.
But no! This was a morning shot and even I don't get stuck into the booze in the morning. So I reckon your hunch is right, Wally!

I could have lived in such a place in my twenties (or even thirties) but any older and you begin to need your creature comforts, Bill!!
