In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the town of Belchite (Aragon) was destroyed in a fierce battle between loyalist Spanish Republican forces and General Franco's rebel forces. A new town was built later near the ruins while the old Belchite was abandoned. If you like shooting ghost towns this is the place to go in Spain.

Shooting in Madrid
As a professional travel photographer, I am constantly faced with unpredictable challenges: unwanted cranes, historical buildings swaddled in scaffolding, hordes of tourists and, above all, inclement weather. Weather dominated my recent trip to Madrid: unusual Arctic weather blanketed half of Spain with snow and producing freezing temperatures.
