The World's Most Extravagant Deserted Domains
12. Ciudad de Vacaciones Perlora
Place: Perlora Ciudad de Vacaciones, Spain
Period: Established in 1954
Expense: Not specified
Perlora Ciudad de Vacaciones, or Vacation City, was envisioned as an opulent resort aimed at providing workers of all classes with a chance to enjoy leisure time. Built during the 1950s under the watchful eye of Italy's fascist government, this Francoist oasis was designed to cater to the needs of the working class.
At its peak, the sprawling resort boasted 150 buildings and had the capacity to accommodate up to 2,000 workers each day, offering a unique escape for those looking to relax and unwind.
Perlora Ciudad de Vacaciones now stands in a state of abandonment. Although the resort officially closed its doors in 2005, it remains a popular destination for visitors. Each summer, this once-thriving vacation spot comes alive again as people flock to the area for barbecues and leisurely gatherings. Many choose to lounge outside the crumbling houses, transforming the desolate resort into a makeshift park where memories of its vibrant past linger in the air.
