The abandoned village of Salto de Castro, located at the border of Spain and Portugal, exudes a mixture of fear and wonder. Once lively, it now bears the scars of time and vandalism, hauntingly quiet except for nature's sounds. American entrepreneur Jason Lee Beckwith purchased the village for $310,000, intending to transform it into a tourist resort. Emphasizing his desire to embrace life in Spain after a significant health scare, Beckwith hopes that new generations will share in the beauty he experienced as a child.
"The truth is that there are no more children, no more voices. No life. The only sound is made by the bees and the birds."
"After his third heart attack, he decided to quit his job at a printing company to open up a guesthouse. Five years later he sold the business and took a sabbatical year."
