Located in the mountainous interior of Spain, the Serrania Celtibérica is the second most unpopulated area of Europe, after Nordic Lapland. The demographic indicators of this area are scary: with a territory of 65,835 km2 (13% of the total territory of Spain), the density of population is just 7.34 inhabitants/km2. In addition, the region has one of the highest aging rates in the EU, and the lowest birth rate. This condition of extreme depopulation has turned on red lights of alarm on several levels, while the area has become widely known in Spain as Lapland of the South: a vast territory comprised between the provinces of Soria, Burgos, Segovia, La Rioja, Teruel, Guadalara, Cuenca, Castelló and València.
