A change in the demographics has left many of the villages in the countryside in Spain, as ghost towns, and now you can buy your own Spanish village for as little as 85,000 of the euro, or the equivalent of 635.000 dollars.
It tells Bloomberg.
the Media have visited a Spanish man by the name of Gustavo Iglesias. Havnebetjenten lived previously in the village of Acorrada in the northern region of Galicia, but like many others, he chose also to move to a larger city to find work.
Behind him he left a village consisting of six houses situated in a beautiful valley. His family has lived in the small town for generations, where they have grown grain and had cows, but quietly, it has become drained of life, and now Iglesias together with the other owners in the city decided to put the whole baduljen for sale to 85,000 euros.
the Hope is that some have the courage to give the city new life.
I hope that someone will buy the city and make it able so that it continues to have life, he says to Bloomberg.
Half of Spain’s municipalities having 1,000 inhabitants or fewer, so there are many opportunities that can arise ghost towns.
According to Bloomberg, it is especially the foreigners, who buy the small villages, which are cheap for sale.
Aldeas Abandonadas is, as the name suggests, a real estate agent specializing in selling small villages. Last year they sold 40 villages, and 90 percent of cities were purchased by foreigners, who are in search of adventure.
– People come from all over the world to buy, say, Pepe Rodil, who is the manager at the brokerage company to Bloomberg.
According to him, it is especially the area’s famous culinary experiences, such as squid, scallops and cockles, which lures people to.
There are about 1,500 abandoned villages in the whole of Spain, informs Elvira Fafian, who is the founder of the Aldeas Abandonadas.
