XTreme Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Today I went to check out the abandoned village of El Moralejo in the Murcia province.It was a rural farming community that only got electricity in the 1960's, but never actually had any running water. It's been completely empty now since 1980. Edited July 28, 2020 by XTreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Would be a great place to camp for a few days, no need to worry about paying for board and lodging's, as long as you had enough supplies to last a couple of days would be ideal as a base to explore from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have camped on occasion, usually when fishing remote hill lochs and been savaged by midges. Have to say given a choice I do like a nice comfy hotel with hot water shower and a decent bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a very lucrative business opportunity, claim one of the buildings and open up a supply shop, food, water and other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
