In recent decades, the unfinished concrete apartments in Spain have become a symbolic representation of the real estate crisis that has plagued the country. Between the 1990s and 2008, Spain experienced a construction boom driven by foreign investments and the allure of its sunny climate. This led to the construction of numerous apartment complexes, often without a clear demand.
Spain Urbex
Spain offers a myriad of abandoned locations with an eclectic mix of architectural styles. Here, urbex enthusiasts can explore everything from disused bullrings and cinemas to deserted mining towns and vacant monasteries. Each location tells a unique story of Spain’s history, culture, and the passage of time.
Top 3 The Spain Urbex Locations:
El Caminito del Rey – Exploring The King’s Little Path (ES)
El Caminito del Rey (The King’s Little Path) is a walkway, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Ardales in the province of Málaga, Spain. The name derives from the original name of Camino del Rey (King’s Pathway), abbreviated locally to el caminito. The walkway had fallen into disrepair and was partially closed for over a decade. After four years of extensive repairs and renovations, the walkway re-opened in 2015. It has been known in the past as the “world’s most dangerous walkway” following five deaths in 1999 and 2000.
Finca Chaparro De La Corregidora (ES) – An old decayed farm in Andalusië
