The town that closed in 72 | Radio Aranda

Imagine that you develop your childhood in a locality and that it at a given moment check the closure. It is what happened to Santiago Sanz, a riparian who at 11 years old had to emigrate from his town, Cuzcurrita de Aranda. “That was a preserve, a contribution was paid and the owner sold it; he gave the people the option to buy it, but since no agreement was reached sold to an individual, and there was no other option but to go from there, “he says.

Before the approximately ten families who lived in this small town had to emigrate, Santiago enjoyed with his friends and brothers his ‘young years’, of which still has a fond memory. “We had a very good teacher and although there were not many things in the town we enjoyed a lot, even if it was making mistakes“, bill.

Fate took him in the 70s with his family to Aranda de Duero, in addition to three or four other families with whom he continues to maintain contact, while others left for Madrid, Barcelona or Zaragoza. “We continue to know about them, especially those around here, and the truth is that every year I go to Cuzcurrita at least once to go for a walk; Now there is nothing, the church and the cemetery are half ruined, but it has a lot of forest, “he says.

And although you know that it is impossible to recover all that, affirms that yes it would like to return to feel someday that town that so many fond memories gave him.
