Monika and I visit the abandoned leper colony in Abades, Tenerife, otherwise known as the Leper Colony of Arico.
Situated in the warm, dry south of Tenerife, this ghost town was built in the mid 1940s and has a very interesting history. Just after the Spanish civil war, Spain, and Tenerife specifically had a fairly serious leprocy problem and this village was to be the solution.
If you’re travelling by car, you’ll have a 15 minute walk or so. Travelling by motorbike, there are loads of dirt tracks you can take to arrive at the location.
