A Spanish Ghost Village Just Reemerged After 30 Years, And It's an Eerie Sight

A ghost village has just re-emerged in Spain's northwestern Galicia region after 30 years. The village, called Aceredo, and its ruins were submerged by the Limia river in the '90s after a dam was created for the Alto Lindoso reservoir. And it's quite a sight—an eerie one.

The abandoned village once had 70 houses and 120 inhabitants who have since moved to nearby towns. The ruins include dilapidated buildings, old cafés, rusty cars, and more. In recent weeks, however, the ghost village has attracted several travelers after an intense drought caused it to be revealed once again. See photos of Aceredo below.

While the ghost village's reemergence is fascinating, the drought that caused it should be a cause for concern as it appears to be another alarming effect of climate change. The reservoir is currently at 15 percent of its capacity.

Spain's water reservoirs are at 44 percent of its capacity on average. A significant change from when it reached 61 percent in the last decade. According to Reuters, the country's environment ministry says the drought has not yet been determined to be a widespread problem.
