Ghost towns in Spain

Today we are walking from Nejara to Santo Domingo. It's an easy 20 kms and the only unusual sighting is a different type of ghost town. We associate ghost towns as an once thriving town that has been abandoned due to environmental issues, such as drought, volcanic eruptions or because there were no employment opportunities available any longer. Here I think about the gold rush or other mining industries that brought the town it's wealth and made it livable. Today's ghost town feels eerie just the same but is completely different. We are walking through a brand-new ghost town. Yes recently build houses, all up for grabs but no one living there. Nice town, very expensive. Walking through Spain you come to realise that economically Spain isn't rich. The vast poverty is obvious wherever you turn. Only major towns appear to be livable cities. There you could have an easy life with all the pros and cons we experience in our world. The Spanish are building these cities everywhere but this must be the first time that it appears that supply outweighs demand. We arrive in Santo Domingo around 1pm and a fellow pilgrim takes us to the cathedral in the town and after the sight-seeing tells us about the legend of Santo Doming and the 2 chickens.
