What an interesting and curious place to visit. This beautiful walled town has been around since the 9th century, but today it is a ghost town and has been for the last 60 years. The government built a dam nearby and forced the inhabitants to move elsewhere. Now it is a Historic and Artistic Site of Importance. Parts of the city have been restored and today we invite you to visit the quiet streets of this strange place.

Granadilla, the old manor of Granada, is an old walled town of feudal origin in the north of the province of Cáceres. It was abandoned years ago, but even so, it preserves the typical structure of a fortress next to the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir.
