In many creative moments of our time we look for locations to develop as artists. But we do not always find the ideal place to do it and it is that, sometimes, we limit ourselves. A very common way of thinking is that there are no magical places near us. But it's not always like this.
Spain, for example, is full of those areas with a particular charm. Ships, large buildings or castles are some of the examples. Affordable trips can get you to these places in less than a couple of hours.
One of the most amazing places begins in the sea ...
The American Star
A ship as a jewel in the crown. According to its history that began in 1939, it was one of the most luxurious ships of the moment. He went through many owners in his journey, but it was later on a trip that passed through the port of light, in Fuerteventura under the name of American Star when, due to a storm, he was trapped on the island. With no chance of the ship being rescued.
Tourists have turned this into one more excuse to get to know the island, but unfortunately it has also cost more than one life trying to fully explore it. That is why its inhabitants call it the ghost ship. Would you dare
The Sanatorium
From a mild and warm climate we take the plane to the north, there we would have a large building. Cesuras houses a sanatorium created in 1920 for patients with tuberculosis. Although it is said that it was never used and that it remains closed until today, you will see images of the site as something spectacular. But they say that the place no longer persists as they teach it. It is a matter of going to see it. Let's go and spark our imaginations?
La Fábrica
Something sweeter and at the same time terrifying that exists in the world. Can you imagine what it is? Yes. A doll. This is what happens when you think of a doll factory, but if it is abandoned, what is the good part? This is what happens in Segorbe, a factory that, unfortunately for many, has been robbed by vandals and we will not be able to find it with the magic that the place had. But that is interesting to know.
Does anyone need a doctor?
We are located in the capital, city of cities, to go to the most terrifying place for many, a hospital. And there is one in Los Molinos, Madrid, and not a small one. A completely abandoned hospital with very large dimensions. Functioning correctly in the forties today it is nothing more than a place where you can photograph unimaginable situations. This hospital was also created for diseases like tuberculosis. With an advantageous care for the military of the three armies at the time of the dictatorship. Who dares to reach the top floor?
The weakest Fort
Ezkaba, Artica. From there comes the largest prison escape in history that emerged in 1938. A huge and different place in all its forms. This small place is located in Navarra and right now it is abandoned, it is used as a visiting place and it is incredible for taking photography. That is if you dare to enter it.
Do you want to know any more? Comment if you like it and we will make a second part of this post.
The American Star ran aground in Fuerteventura, not in Gran Canaria. Several years ago it completely sank and can no longer be seen from the beach.
Exactly, it was my writing error. I wanted to refer to the islands in general. Thank you for the correction !
