Hotel made entirely from rubbish opens in Madrid

A brand new hotel called the "Beach Garbage Hotel" has just opened in Madrid.

What's different about this hotel is that it is made entirely from debris found on beaches, landfills and flea markets.

The walls are decorated with plastic drums, wooden frames, musical instruments, striped socks, tyres and children's books.

The hotel is the creation of German artist Ha Schult, who said he created the hotel because "the oceans of our planet are the biggest garbage dump."

Schult says the goal of his installation is to raise awareness of the pollution found on some of the world's beaches.
