Between 24 August and 7 September 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, loyalist Spanish Republican forces clashed with Francisco Franco's rebel forces in the Battle of Belchite, fought in and around the town. After 1939, a new village was built near the ruins of the old one, which remains a ghost town as a memorial to the war. (Wikipedia)
The ruins of the old village have been used as filming locations in films, including Terry Gilliam's 1988 film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. (Wikipedia)
The village has no humans anymore, but there are cats
The old town can be visited only with a guided tour in Spanish (but there is an English translation device available)
I'm on my way to Valladolid, stopping by at Miranda de Ebro

The Osborne bull (Spanish: El Toro de Osborne) is a black silhouetted image of a bull in semi-profile. Erected as either 14-meter-tall or seven-meter-tall billboards, as of July 2022, there are 92 of them installed on hilltops and along roadways throughout much of Spain. The bull was initially conceived as an outdoor advertisement for Brandy de Jerez, made by the Osborne Group in 1956. Over time, the Osborne bull has become a national symbol of Spain. (Wikipedia)
