Abandoned places in Spain

Spain is a treasure trove for urban / urbex explorers where centuries of history, industrial power, and architectural beauty collide with abandonment and decay. From crumbling Civil War bunkers and forgotten railway stations to decaying palaces and long-silent factories, the country offers an unmatched variety of urban ruins waiting to be discovered. Whether you’re exploring the rusted guts of a sugar refinery in Andalusia, wandering through an overgrown hospital in Catalonia, or climbing the stairwells of a deserted mansion in Galicia, each site tells a story of glory, neglect, and time’s relentless passage. With its rich heritage and diverse landscapes, Spain is one of Europe’s most atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful urbex playgrounds.
