In Spain, there is a strange law: in this town, it is forbidden to die on weekends.
The little town of Lanjarón in Spain attracts tourists with its medieval architecture and unique feature.
According to Daily Express, this town in Granada province on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada became known after it was featured in the series 'Game of Thrones'. Overall, Lanjarón has only 3600 residents who have a rather unusual rule – it is forbidden to die on weekends. This decision was made back in 1999 when the town's mayor, José Rubio, stated that people should take care of their health so that until the city council finds land for burials, no one dies.
He issued a decree ordering people to 'take care of their health so that they do not die until the city council takes necessary measures to acquire land suitable for the resting of the dead.'
This curious rule of the town of Lanjarón has been taken humorously and with a desire to comply. Such nuances make a place unforgettable for tourists and are remembered for a long time.
In the world of travel, there are always exceptional places with their interesting traditions and features. The town of Lanjarón in Spain became famous for its prohibition on dying on weekends, which made it remarkably interesting for tourists and added uniqueness to this little corner of the world.
