The deserted town of Granadilla


Due to the new reservoirs built in the '50s and '60s, many villages and towns were abandoned and flooded. Granadilla was high above the new reservoir but was effectively surrounded by it and cut off from its farmlands (please have a look at the aerial map to get a gist of this isolation). The population moved to the cities in the main. Some decades later as the place became something of a tourist attraction, a few souls moved in to open a restaurant or two and some tourist shops. I've posted a couple of other shots under my Estramadura album: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/album/999420

I thought of 'When the levee breaks', a great blues song for this, even if it's not strictly relevant to the photo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYThZwcDUXk
I selected a 'reaction' Youtube version of this Led Zeppelin classic, just because it was an honest and sincere reaction and it amused me!

My girlfriend is fully immersed in projects looking at the viability and means of re-populating abandoned villages here in Spain. At the moment it's all voluntary work but she hopes to gain enough experience to get a full-time and paid position with some foundation or other!
Ironically she's in England as I type this on a two month voluntary working holiday in Salisbury (I forget the name of the foundation / institution) to further both her English and her ambitions. And there was I thinking she was learning well from my very personal tuition!
