Spain's small towns are currently facing the seemingly unstoppable phenomenon of depopulation. Job opportunities in these places are shrinking every year, forcing entire families to migrate to larger towns or cities in search of a livelihood. The economic crisis makes it very difficult for young couples to consider parenthood, so the demographic pyramid is increasingly inverted. At the end of the day, a drop in the number of people registered in a town has a noticeable impact on its basic services, the reduction of which is another reason for its inhabitants to flee. This is, without a doubt, a vicious circle. Algueña, located in the province of Alicante, represents a case with a bleak future ahead. Young people leave the town as soon as they finish their studies because they want to find a job in applying their knowledge, a job that they will hardly find here. Local businesses are suffocating because of the savage competition practiced by multinationals like Amazon, and the few that remain are run by mature people who, if they had to start today, would not do it. The number of inhabitants remains the same or even rises, but these new inhabitants are outsiders who see Algueña as a cheap place to spend their last days. This precariousness extends to all areas, including culture. Each village has an identity that is associated with its name and that, if not preserved, ends up being lost. The traditions, songs, and other artistic expressions of Algueña are in long-term danger, and everything points to the fact that, in the not too distant future, they will be buried next to the graves of its former inhabitants; with the town, in turn, turned into a huge cemetery.
