Great news item about a young man who used his life savings to buy a derelict property in a declining town between Madrid and Barcelona and ended up spending the pandemic year restoring the house and researching its history:

So much to look forward to exploring once we get our act together, no?
Wow, a used place in Used. But what a treasure trove of fascinating, historical artifacts.Appears huge and his father did the work, so there wasn’t a constant stream of other workers there during this pandemic, potentially creating an additional virus hazard. That project will certainly have paid off in many ways, looking back on it in the future
Wow what a great article! Thanks for sharing, Avi.
Nice article. Not much to the town and I wouldn’t want to live there, but if we can ever travel again, I’ll be driving right past it on my way to Daroca from Molina de Aragon or Nuevalos, depending on my route. Those towns are on my list of places to see from my COVID cancelled trip.
It's towns like these that almost make me re-think my practice of avoiding rental cars and driving myself around.
So fascinating! Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing the article.
Thanks Avi for sharing this heartfelt story. What a beautiful tribute in honor of his heritage. This certainly made my week.
Awesome link!!!
Thanks.
