Cordoba, Spain The fortress town of Zahara de la Sierra in southern Spain is used to fending off enemies. The Moors and Christians fought over it in medieval times, and it was sacked by the French in 1812. Now its formidable position high above the Andalusian countryside has suddenly become an invaluable asset once more.
On March 14, Zahara cut itself off from the outside world as a dangerous coronavirus spread its tentacles across Spain. The mayor, 40-year-old Santiago Galván, decided to block all but one of the town's five entrances. Galván acted the day that Spain's"state of alarm" came into force.Since then, the country has recorded more than 100,000 cases and 10,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University figures.
Similar sanitation precautions have been introduced inside Zahara."Every Monday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. a group of around 10 people are out in the streets to disinfect the town, all the streets, plazas and outside homes," Galván says.One of them is local farmer Antonio Atienza, whose tractor trundles through the town spraying the streets.
Wisemen & women
ChrisCuomo Would this not be a good example of social isolation on a large scale to cut down on the illnesses. Republican Gov's not shutting down their states said there was no proof it works. Well here's their proof. Next excuse?
That’s smart timing
ChrisCuomo Beautiful place 💞
We had our chance and no one would listen to me
Because of their wall?
borders work. Duly noted.
Why aren’t they being called racist by CNN?
Making a case to shut off New York.
So, are you saying that walls work?
Wow...so we need a wall...
It's almost as if *gasp* walls work
Wait what? Are you suggesting that isolation of a group could be beneficial? Why CNN, I believe you have just validated the whole border security issue. Tis better to be cautious and safe than reckless and at risk. That is unless you can tell good from bad by appearance alone🤔
Not sure about that
Would be interesting if true, but, coming from CNN probably means it is a fake story.
It's almost like a wall works
So walls are.....good?
That is because 1,000 of them are billy goats!
ChrisCuomo This forsure is telling!
Very good for them
This is because they haven't legalize same sex marriage in their area.
Clever Hobbits ))
I wonder if the hilltop town has enough grocery stores and supermarkets. I hope they have lifelines and will survive amid covid-19 pandemic.
They're fortress as long as they have food supplies.
Also they don'y watch CNN
If they have cut themselves from the world how do you that
Probably should have kept it a secret as the hordes will be invading soon to enjoy the hospitality and sanctuary. If you see a Trojan horse at the town gate one morning, do not wheel it into the town square, instead, set it on fire and push it over the cliff.
You going to cover this?
God save you guys😃
You mean they have a wall? And it works? Imagine that. 🤔
Worked in the middle age, still works today......
I hope the Americans are cut off from CNN so we get spared from lies.

But blocking flights from China was racist.
为什么要特地报道出来？会有人去那里的。

Which makes me think, is it possible that some insects also behave as vectors for COVID19 & as they can't reach or survive at higher elevations, this town is disease free. Is there a pattern?
And they intend to keep it that way
This place looks beautiful and peaceful.
Great job.
I use to watch the show 'doomsday preppers'. I wonder how they're doing right now.
There's no 5G towers within 100 miles of that town. So that might have something to do with it. FYI there are at least 500 5G towers in and around New York City. Wuhan was the first mass deployment in China too. Covid_19 CoronaVirusUpdate
thats nice cnn, did you by chance find time to report my indictment yet? tomorrow is friday. you have all day. get it done!
Very smart indeed.
I'm sure some jackass 'reporter' will run up there to get a story and ruin everything by dragging disease along for the ride.
Well England letting everybody per normal Wake up government shut the bloody airport stop letting people in the country until we finish fighting this virus it’s not rocket science
あ、パズルとか 壁紙とかでみる 素敵な場所だ！ (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)
That’ll go viral.
Pls let’s avoid any contact with them, they deserve to be left alone safe 🙏
And until their is a vaccine, they are all still susceptible to a novel Coronavirus.
Let’s see how long those fortress doors stay shut when they run out of TOILET PAPER.... or maybe they use their hands like Muslims. That’s real, they don’t use TP at all, just hand.
At least we know it's not an airborne virus.
This island is Social Distancing Goals! 🙌
If I could ... I wanted also to stay isolated where I was ..but Italian government , my company and I don’t know who wanted me and my colleagues back in Italy ... so we passed through 5 airports to reach “ home “ ... very irresponsible decision
Xi Jinping reads this and goes “Great, this gives me an idea what to do next with my cattle-class citizens”
This is what should do every where.
Smart.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO! We should have done it from the start but, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! Let’s go AMERICA!
👏👏👏👏👍
well duh
That is the right way out of Coronavirus,
youbettaresist It happened before:
Corona virus CCOVID-19 may be God's promise meant by the Almighty saying in Quran, Sura74 “. THE ENROBED “:- 28. It neither leaves, nor spares. 29. It scorches the flesh. 30. Over it are Nineteen
Wait until Rick and his gang find it
This is an example for the world. Ultimately, every economy is suffering. But if China had been boycotted in time, the world would be a different place today. CoronaVirusCanada WHO UN DrTedros Tedros must be punished for covering lies!
