Rural Village In Galicia, Spain For Sale For Less Than A House In Madrid Or Barcelona
In rural villages in modern Spain, youngsters tend to leave after school to find a job in a major city. Meanwhile, this leaves only the older residents living in the village, who eventually move away themselves, or pass away, leaving villages abandoned in rural areas of the country. For this reason, anyone with the money handy can purchase and own the entire village.
Owning a village could be the ideal option to set up a rural hotel, bed and breakfast, or spa center in some of the prettiest areas in Spain. In this case, an entire small village in the Lugo region of the northern province of Galicia is up for sale at the price of an average property in Madrid or Barcelona.
