The activities of the Cultural Center include everything. They also had several<br />

excursions through which the neighbors got to know the Spanish geography, its people,<br />

its history, its culture, its landscape and its gastronomy. So many memories remain from<br />

these visits. Above all, th<strong>at</strong> was for many the first time th<strong>at</strong> they saw the ocean, the<br />

Peaks of Europe, etc. This is how many elders of today began to travel and find the joy<br />

to leave the town and learn about their own country.<br />

The first ethnological Exposition in Ciadoncha was not only visited by the people<br />

of the town, but by people from the surrounding towns; it was even a motive for an extra<br />

curricular activity for the students of the Center Comarcal de <strong>Santa</strong> María del Campo,<br />

who arrived in a bus on a school day for their study. This exposition was done thanks to<br />

the efforts of several people. Among them was Ismael Madrid Olmos, who was secretary<br />

<strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong> time. He was the main promoter and organizer of the exposition. Also the<br />

determined contribution of José Carlos Madrid Hernando, a vocalist during th<strong>at</strong> time. He<br />

was the one, <strong>at</strong> every moment, th<strong>at</strong> was in charge of the exposition carrying a meticulous<br />

registry as much of its elements as the people th<strong>at</strong> visited it. This activity was carried out<br />

when Arcadio Varona Madrid was president.<br />
