Guadalajara, known as la Espana vaciada, exemplifies Spain's rural depopulation crisis with only five inhabitants per square kilometer. However, in the wake of the 2005 same-sex marriage legalization, Campillo de Ranas uniquely embraced this social change, attracting many couples. This transformation, documented in the film 'Campillo Si, Quiero,' highlights the village's shift from an isolated demographic desert to a vibrant destination for LGBTQ+ marriage, juxtaposing the area's natural beauty with a newfound societal openness. The return of wildlife further emphasizes the region's evolving narrative.
After the legalization of same-sex marriage by the socialist government in 2005, towns like Campillo de Ranas experienced an unexpected influx of gay couples looking to wed.
The demographic desert of Guadalajara, with its sparse population and deserted landscapes, serves as a dramatic backdrop for the social changes initiated by the 2005 marriage law.
