When you come driving on the small road towards the village of Porquera de los Infantes, 100 km north of Palencia in northern Spain, the first thing that strikes you is that this is just another of those Spanish villages that once had a life and then fell into oblivion. Most of the houses have collapsed and only a few people have chosen to stay.
Coming closer, you start to realize why bus-loads of visitors have come to the almost abandoned village lately and why the leading Spanish newspaper El País has written about it.
