Spanish travel magazine Viajar has drawn up a map and a list of the "ugliest towns in the country", selecting one for each province of every region.

The publication admitted that in creating the list, it relied on "the opinions of some tourists, general clichés or asking for help from Artificial Intelligence".

Why are these the ugliest towns in Spain?

Although no specific reason is given as to why it has been decided that each selected the is the ugliest in its province and is included in this list. For some of them some the opinions of anonymous people have been included or elements of the localities have been highlighted that may make them perceived as ugly.

One example is the case of Alovera, in Guadalajara. Taking into account some opinions in travellers' forums, the travel magazine has put together the following harsh testimony: "It is a place where NOT to stay or live, millions of noisy tuned cars and motorbikes passing by with noisy exhausts at all hours, the police do nothing and there is nothing to visit. If the earth swallowed it up tomorrow, nobody would miss it".

Other examples base the qualification of the tourism as ugly on its few tourist attractions or on comparisons with other nearby towns of great beauty.
