PUEBLO ABANDONADO N° 16. ¿QUÉ SE ESTÁ HACIENDO TAN MAL? ¡EN UN PARAÍSO COMO ASTURIAS!

Hey YouTube family Today I'm visiting a location that some of my followers sent me a while ago I truly appreciate it so much because I didn't expect it to be this big and when I arrived I was genuinely surprised As always the roads of Asturias credible I highly recommend diving into Deep Asturias because the trails are phenomenal—you'll discover breathtaking landscapes and a ature some plants and some animals that are absolutely spectacular I've come on this route and honestly I've loved it Like all of them I just love every single one I make but anyway I'm going to show you right now what I came across As always I must say beforehand that if you'd like to support me and help the channel continue moving forward Follow me on social media—links are below—and subscribe to the channel which is completely free and really helps me out If you leave a comment you'd be awesome—no need to say more but hey I hope you understand on that point that this is the only way to support me on YouTube and allow YouTube to keep growing and reaching more of us People and that way I can make more videos so I won't drag this on any further—let's get into it The first thing that greeted us upon arriving in this town village as it's quite large—trust me I didn't expect it to have so many houses—is this little gem You can already see how the entrance is There's a house a barn over there Well let's gradually approach and I'll show you step by step rying to tell you everything I'm seeing okay Because I did take a quick look beforehand to check what I was going to show you As I was saying and well I was pleasantly surprised There's certainly livestock here because the pastures are still being used and in fact there are cows right in this very meadow Well look here this would be the first block we come across Up there they'd have the grass and the house with a lovely porch Look at this huge hallway he had a laundry room downstairs and well this house I think it's closed I'm not sure we'll check it out properly later whether we can take a look or not because as always I don't like forcing anything or breaking anything I'd just like to see if the door It's open I'm just trying to show you a little bit and if not then not I've already seen it was closed before so it'll just stay that way Closed but still I wanted to show you the house so you could see what it's like She looks quite beautiful to me—look at this little cow here as I was saying there are still some ranchers who exploit these pastures There are nearby villages and that's what's not entirely clear to me—why this place was left abandoned That said access is definitely very poor Well we have a date written on the wall there that is 1973 so you can get an idea of roughly when this last house could have been built or constructed atop another Probably the oldest one since the house looks older than 1973 Well here's a tricky one—the door is on the inside of the property and the property is locked up for the cows so no way in I'm not going in to see what's inside there was another door here I don't know if it's open—let's check No it's closed so nothing—we won't be able to see inside this place at all This house truly collapsed—right here another street entered which we' re now going to see the house I showed you earlier from a different angle and well I'm not sure exactly where to begin—whether to start from the top and show you that part first then move to the bottom or Alright let's go this way so I can show you that little spot I've already opened up This was another house that had already collapsed—I might be able to show you something through the window but look at how everything's overgrown with nettles I'm going to turn on a little light to see what we can make out It seems this was A room look there are still basins well little kitchen items A little leak but the roof is really in bad shape—it's collapsing because the back side here has already given way Well it's not very safe to enter this one so I'll try showing you something from the other remaining ones in town Going in there seems a bit risky and this door is locked the stable was right here next door It's incredible because I truly didn't expect there to be so much behind this the village continues upward loo In this corner things are indeed preserved as you can see—every farming tool livestock equipment and cattle prods are still here I see baskets over there—ones we find everywhere with a kind of mattress Yes it looks like a well-made hand-sewn old mattress with farming supplies scattered around here sogas good a little bit the typical the typical image we come across in a In a moment here's another door—well I think it's good yes this one's locked I can see the padlock on it And we will respect it exactly as it is Well there's the overview of the street we're leaving behind There was another block here You can already see it's completely covered wow this path is terrible with all these stones This house is almost completely covered by this bush now but anyway there was once a here For the grass a bird behind which we'll see through the alleyway at the bac And this little house is great it's almost done with the corridor And down here look you can still make out the entrance to the stable I don't know if we'll see much but there was a small animal enclosure here As you can see the upper part of the house has already collapsed this village is in pretty bad shape but outside it's extremely beautiful Look there was another house there There's another path here that leads down to a nearby village The truth is it's truly precious—look this is the house we're entering now which is actually open and I’ll be able to show it to you just look at what we managed to see I'm going to turn on as much light as I can Since the floor is like that it's clear it's in pretty bad shape and the ceiling too look at how it is But anyway I think that's built on land as far as I can tell yes yes I do believe I can show you something I'm going to step carefully along the edges of the house so I can show you this part here which I believe is the kitchen—yes it is the kitchen What to look at—this whole sheet is still here phew the floor is in terrible shape I stumble over everything because it's really bad but look— Above there was no plant upper And well I don't really see it either but I do see bottles—well the usual things you'd find in a kitchen here And a little more look here at the little cabinet they had to store this bottle which seems to be anise yes anise marabú anise-flavored marabú — I'd never seen it before And here I imagine you'd access the corridor—well you can see the floor here is quite bad I'm going to step over there where it's somewhat better No this door is completely collapsed from the house's collapse and there was another room back there—I wanted to show you what's inside I imagine this would have been a room and well it collapsed toward the block and little by little we'll see what's here so nothing good at least something From one of the houses we have been able to see I'm going to secure this properly because someone left it like this and I'm worried a cow or some other animal might slip through At the very least no animal is going to be hung at's happened to me before in the previous video when we found a wild boar in a kitchen poor thing had gotten in and didn't know how to get ou Let's take a look at this one here Good this wasn't a residence—it was a corral and it's nicely enclosed here with these wooden planks and we won't see anything else anyway just a corral We're going to take this street back here and we'd be walking down the parallel street the one we just saw and I'm going to show you the birdhouse I mentioned earlier There's another house there ere's another path going up there I imagine it leads to some other high -altitude village up there or maybe directly to tend to the livestock Now when we see this one here we go down that street and return to where we started Well the village is in pretty bad shape—see how this used to be another street going in there now completely blocked behind it is the house I won’t be able to reach because it’s in terrible condition That was the stable I mentioned to you This is the other path that winds between chestnut and hazelnut trees He looks absolutely stunning I mean this town is really something Look how the path is—everything 's covered in loose stones You step wrong and send everything crashing down I think we can also see something in this house if I just peek over here You see how she's surrounded by ferns but this one looks super tiny from outside just loo Good the floor is tiled and quite solid Here look there 's a little window with a view of the street down there at had the tile likely where they cooked in the kitche where they were preparing the kitchen floor tiles It's definitely made of something I don't know what but it looks like tile and here they've still preserved the old way of hanging sausages and the butchering area And here they told me this was for hanging water— they brought it in cauldrons and hung it right here If anyone knows what it was used for or had another purpose please leave a comment —because that's what I was told though it doesn't necessarily have to be true And here there was a room This house was super small—one room one kitchen—just the block over the one we saw here on the left and that’s about it The truth is this village is enormous—satellite view doesn't make it seem that big but of course it's completely hidden by vegetation rooftops and trees Well then leaving aside this little house we've just seen so tiny There's another street the one I mentioned earlier when were walking down below—this is the little alley that goes up From above let's go this way since we're already here—take a look at the birdhouse I mentioned with the little entrance right here old-fashioned This little street is absolutely beautiful—I love it so much I don't know if you can see the ferns and the little stone wall here And well the little house was tiny—just look it was really tiny with a kitchen and a single room nothing else And there's the first house I showed you—it's quite large Look here there's a window The other house is the one that partially collapsed Looking at this it's clearly a room—see how the floor is It's not safe to enter here as we could easily fall through especially since it's on the second floor But anyway there's the house that was locked up The thing is it's risky to go inside them because they'really in bad shape—if I didn't show you I wouldn't You see there must have been something built here too just like the wall that collapsed Here there was probably a wall running all the way up to that house over there Good this house I see it has plastic there too maybe because of the cattle farmer who It's right here so he'll probably use it for something and I see a stick over there—no I'm not going in honestly It's not locked either I imagine but anyway I see he's coming this way and it's not my intention to find out whether he keeps anything inside I came across this myself There's a bath tub and if this is a bathroom it's incredible This was a bathroom outside the house and it looks like it was added later because it's made of brick and you can see where it's been attached Confined I thought it was for storage but it wasn't a bathroom outside the house Notice how the house was large but as many of you know back then bathrooms were located outside of the houses and in this case they built it there and this is the main house we've come to see I've just realized that this place had a laundry area and I'm going to keep going down here again to show you what's further below The community had a laundry facility but you have to walk down a little path from here—we'll be following it shortly and I show it to you so you can see how beautiful it was when it arrived or as I continued recording This is the path I mentioned earlier that the people from this village had to travel arrive at the laundry area where they likely drew water and also washed clothes and all that stuff and well it's still preserved Some paths still have fences here and there because as you've seen thanks to the local ranchers these trails remain open to some extent anks to the livestock and that we can visit this village because I like to imagine that with the access it has this place is completely covered in mud and stones As you can see the path would be completely covered if it weren't for the livestock activity ot even could one get through here as it's not a place like the other villages I've passed through where natural pathways exist It's great here for hiking and mountaineering—only those who live here really know it and you can see just how beautiful it is There's another cabin here too from this village which is pretty much kept up so it's good for storing a few things If it rains heavily I imagine the cattle will seek shelter and when they're in this meadow down here the laundry area was right below I want to show it to you because it's a very traditional place where everyone would gather to draw water and wash clothes And this was the community laundry they had Here they washed their clothes and here the animals lived and drank as water flowed out from this area formerly there was no water anymore and where would they get water from and besides the animals would have nothing to dr so looking still remains valid and asserts that it is The inscription there is from 1954 or possibly much older—I'm not sure if you can see it clearly It's likely much much older but when they renovated it so to speak and applied that plaster and everything the stones that are there So they fixed one of those wooden roofs put on that plate and it was in 1954 the last time so to give you an idea this village has been around for Likely around 30 to 40 years who knows—not since 1954 but comfortably 30 years could pass without issue uninhabited and as always well in a place as extreme as Asturias wherever you go You have a spectacular nature here—nothing is heard except the sounds of animals and the cowbells And well the path is full full full of chestnuts—on other videos you've asked me what chestnuts are f they're Indian chestnuts and if they're not in this case then they are like this That's right those are thorns for example there are green ones right there look here there's one right now Alright so I press them like this to open them slightly then we look inside and if they have fruit—well in this case no it doesn't have good fruit Anyway I've been picking up chestnuts along the way and they're quite good but that's not the case here right now Look here you don't need to go far to find them and they're everywhere along the path—this is currently their season along with sweet cider so nothing I'm just heading down from this town toward the road below Anything nearby I can check to see if I can reach the car and otherwise I just wanted to wrap up the video here And I mention the chestnuts because many of you are from Asturias but others who see me aren't So from here in Asturias it's for that kind of audience who've already asked me what type of chestnut it is what it actually is All that matters is the cider cider is a drink apple-based alcoholic beverage made from apple juice which I've tried to explain in previous videos and we'll be heading to a place where it's produced The cider and good that's for the next videos if you keep making videos on the channel And thank you always for your support as you keep motivating me to continue making videos but later on I’ll try to show you more so many other things from here in Asturias cider chestnuts traditions places of interest trying to show you a little bit of everything not just abandoned areas Many of you also ask me why there's so much abandonment here in Asturias and the reason is that the The politics the bureaucracy—this all makes it extremely difficult to keep going in these villages and the communications are in some cases a complete disaster It's true that people move to cities seeking a different life—supposedly better than staying in rural areas though that's debatable and each person draws their own conclusion I think these places could have a second life if they had good internet access—alternatives to traditional livelihoods could then emerge Different through the internet with incomes unlike anything we've traditionally known—what it's worth is now left entirely to individual interpretation That's all I have to share with you—thank you for being here and for choosing to watch my video I hope to see you again soon Keep watching my upcoming videos and keep enjoying them as much as you do now—your support means the world to me and truly motivates me to keep creating content And I won't keep you waiting—see you in the next video
