The Spanish 'ghost town' that should be underwater
The tiny medieval town of Granadilla, in Spain, was founded in the 9th Century. Up until the late 1950s it was home to around 1,000 people, then within a 10-year period everyone was forced to leave and it has remained completely empty ever since.
The town had been scheduled to flood due to a new dam that had been built by Francisco Franco's regime, and the former inhabitants were forced to leave their homes and relocate. Over 50 years later, however, and the flood waters never arrived, yet the original inhabitants of Granadilla are still forbidden from returning to their former homes.
