La Guareña

La Guareña, in the southeast of the province of Zamora, is a region tormented by time, where the risk of disappearance begins to erode its identity. In a wild region where the wind blows and it barely rains, the population ages sadly while the land heads towards oblivion with no turning back. With an economy based on agriculture and livestock, there are no prospects for change. The region is the portrait of an emptied Spain.
