The details of life frozen in 1992, when Aceredo village in Galicia region of Spain was flooded due to creation of the Alto Lindoso reservoir, were revealed to visitors who are visiting the site in large numbers.</p>
<p>
Talking to the media, Maximino Perez Romero who is 65 years old and from A Coruna said: "It's as if I'm watching a movie. I have a feeling of sadness. My feeling is that this is what will happen over the years due to drought and all that, with climate change."</p>
<p>
The visitors to the site found collapsed roofs, wooden debris of doors and beams, bricks and even a drinking fountain with water still streaming from a rusty pipe.</p>
