Don Quixote was a foreboding name for this doomed airport in the Spanish province of Castille-La Mancha.
The €10-billion ($108-billion) complex was completed in 2010, but was abandoned just two years later.

Flights first departed from La Mancha Airport in June 2010, but things quickly turned sour in central Spain.
