Polopos is a village in the municipality Polopos-La Mamola in the province of Granada, Spain.

As of 2010, the municipality has a population of 1856 inhabitants, most of which live in the coastal village La Mamola.

Most of the families moved away in the second half of the 20th century to find work in the cities or to live on the coast.

Five Dutch couples were followed to see who was most successful in restoring a dilapidated house allotted to each of them, setting up a business in the village, learning Spanish and integrating with the local population.

[3] Spanish media regularly visit the village to see if the experiment of the TV show is successful in fighting the general problem of 'España vaciada', or empty Spain, where villages with an ever decreasing and ageing population are deteriorating more and more and are sometimes abandoned all together.
