And They Bricked Up the Doors

El Quiñón, in Seseña, Spain, became an icon of the Spanish real-estate crisis. After 2008, more than half of the homes planned for this ostentatious housing development remained unfinished in the middle of nowhere. For several years, very few people lived there, and it became known as a ghost town. The development is now gradually being inhabited again, while housing prices continue to rise each year.
