"Punta de Abona, Tenerife, Spain" Waymark

Long Description:
In the beginning of the last century, there was a leprosy station at the place (probably without leprous people). Later on at the time of the General Franco there was a real small village (actually only a couple of houses) there. Then the inhabitants were moved to other places and the army was using it many years to exercise street fighting. The army even built a lot of additional houses around the area to make it a more real village. They even built a CHURCH!!! For many years it has been uninhabited.

Looks like it is now used for paintballing!
