Description
Burbaguena, a tiny village in the heart of Spain's rural Teruel province, was on the brink of disappearing. But since the opening of a refugee centre, its streets are filled with children playing and the village stands as a symbol of renewal. "Both for the town and for my business it has been an injection," says baker Jesus Peribanez, adding "it has given life to the town". Over 1,000 people have passed through the centre since it opened in 2021, with around 100 deciding to stay in the village permanently. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
