Its people
The people of Ciadoncha are simple and traditional, caring and hard working. In
my interview with the priest of the town, father Emérito Puente, I asked him what it was
that he learned from the people of Ciadoncha during the time that he has served as priest.
He responded that from the elders, their resignation, the entirety with which they receive
what life gives them; of the youth, their striving spirit and desire for change.
Práxedes Martínez, was born in Ciadoncha in 1915. Today, she is the eldest native.
Práxedes Martínez has always lived in Ciadoncha. She has seen the town grow
and diminish. At her age she still enjoys cleaning the house and it is not rare to find her
sweeping the entry. She is an admirable woman, with the wisdom that years give and
with the sweetness and strength that only those of Ciadoncha have. I would like to give
her my thanks for having sat to converse with me and for having helped me so much with
her memories.
Marcos and Alfredo Arroyo- the youngest of Ciadoncha. 2003
Marcos and Alfredo Arroyo are the youngest of the town. They still live there,
even though they have to go to the school of Santa María, which is about four kilometers
in distance. They are everyone’s happiness.
