Abandoned Spain

Abandoned Spain

Fran Lens - Paco Quiles - Carlos Sanmillán

Villages bombarded during the Spanish Civil War that were not rebuilt after the fighting, a huge international railway station abandoned at the border with France, an old military munitions dump hewn deep within a mountain, the remains of Spain's first fossil-fuelled power plant, a forgotten pharmaceutical laboratory, a ghost ship, a closed blast furnace, the spectacular vestiges of a hydraulic dam, a forbidden sanatorium, a former cement factory...

For a decade, Fran Lens, Paco Quiles and Carlos Sanmillán have travelled around Spain in search of these abandoned and forgotten places.

An exceptional photographic report.
