Marinaleda, located in the province of Seville in the Andalusian region of Spain, is a village known worldwide as a "happy town". Under the impetus of Mayor Juan Manuel Sánchez Godoy, the village has implemented collective land ownership, free housing policies and democratic community decision-making, and its residents have achieved economic autonomy through cooperative agriculture, with a very low unemployment rate. The town advocates the concept of "slow life" and focuses on community cohesion, and has been awarded "Europe's Best Rural Tourism Destination" many times. Its unique "happiness model" has attracted tourists from all over the world and has become a living example of equality and community development, and has been described as an "anti-utopian utopia".
