ciadoncha; ¡cuántos recuerdos - Webpages at SCU - Santa Clara ...

Cultural Week. 1994.

But just like everything else in Ciadoncha, the Cultural Center of Santa Barbara
has also come to be less than it used to be. The festivals continue to be celebrated and
they try to gather all the people in the meriendas and special festivals, but very few
remain in comparison to past years.
Maybe a new impulse is needed, a new form of attracting the absent ranero and
making them feel that their town awaits them with open arms. Hopefully, upon seeing
the appendix of this work, where some of the programs, newspaper articles and reports
appear, the new generation will be encouraged to promote this town more- its beauty and
its culture.
Ciadoncha is being left alone because its children are dispersed all over the world. The
elderly village is in agony, but we still have many that resist accepting its death because
only what is forgotten dies and to forget Ciadoncha is like to denying oneself.
