Another participant remembered nights as this one, but when he was a boy less than eight years old. He remembers feeling them carry him out of bed and place him in the cart. As they went through the path he enjoyed the movement and kept on sleeping, but when he heard “Sooo! Sooo!” all of this pleasure ended because he knew that when the animals stopped he would have to begin to work. Threshing the lands. Photo exposed in the City Hall of Ciadoncha. Other participants remember with nostalgia when they all gathered on the lands to thresh. “That was beautiful!” said one participant. “Don’t tell me- everyone was there together, laughing while the donkey gave it.” Everyone remembered how hot it would get during the harvest. At noon, they would look for shade by the cart in order to take their light lunch. “Those onions and that wine tasted better than today’s chorizos!” some said. Threshing with a tractor. Photo exposed in the City Hall of Ciadoncha. 138
The invention of the tractor marked the beginning of the mechanization of agriculture. I could say that when Ciadoncha reached this stage in life, I found two groups of people with different sentiments and memories. One group remembered the times before the tractor with a lot of nostalgia and another group was definitely happy with all that the mechanization of agriculture brought with it. The group that longs for past times is the one who greatly values the coexistence that existed amongst the neighbors in those times. They said that needing one another made them kinder and less preoccupied with the “what will they say?”, with how they dressed and of appearances. One participant gave me this example: “Before, we would go to church on Sundays without noticing what dress, what pendants, what shoes so-in-so had on. Today, if you do not go well dressed you feel bad.” It is clear that it is not the hard work that they long for, but the coexistence. On the other hand, the group that said that they are better off today is the one who remembers the hard work with certain bitterness. They said that working the way that they did was inhumane. They do not know how the people were able to put up with so much. When I asked one participant from this group what she remembered about the work in the field, she answered, “I don’t even want to remember that. Don’t compare the way we live now with those times”. The fields in Ciadoncha continue being worked on. For some time, there were more families working on their own lands, but with time and with their children inheriting the lands, the lands have become smaller and they have to have others work on them. Today there are adults who dedicate themselves to working on their lands and on the lands of others. Of all of them, only one lives in the town. And per my conversation with him and his wife, I fear that it’s not for very long. They are seriously thinking of moving to Burgos for their children’s education. With embarrassment, they say that they do not see much of a future for their children in the town. The say, “the agriculture, with time, will remain only to those who have a lot of land. We small producers will have to figure out something else to do in another place”. But there was a time in which the mechanization and coexistence that the field work offered was enjoyed. These were during the times that there were still large areas of land that had not been divided. 139
