of Ciadoncha began and the schools began to get empty<br />

In the 1970s, another wave of emigr<strong>at</strong>ion from the town occurred. The majority<br />
of youths went to the city of Burgos to work in factories. Th<strong>at</strong> is when the schools in<br />
Ciadoncha no longer functioned and only the building remained, which was used as a<br />
community center so th<strong>at</strong> the youths, who came on weekends and holidays, could g<strong>at</strong>her.<br />
The same thing was happening to other neighboring small towns and they began to take<br />
the children to study <strong>at</strong> <strong>Santa</strong> Maria. From then on is when we begin to see how these<br />
towns, which were once full of life, begin to die.<br />
