The pools of Castlenou can be found on the outskirts of Barcelona.  Once an extremely popular attraction, the gigantic concrete carcass now canvasses street art, rather than swimwear-clad locals and tourists.

The reason behind its demise sounds like a bad fairy tale – as rumours began to spread between locals that several people/children had fallen to their deaths, jumping from the top board to their bloody ends, the place soon became deserted… And now it is only home to graffiti sprayers, skaters, or trespassers… What a crazy reminder of its once innocent haunts… Now, lost in the rubble..
