The exodus of the 1950s

Historical milestone · Cañamaque, Las Vicarías, Soria

Image of Cañamaque, not of the place itself.

The mass emigration to the cities of the 1950s and 1960s emptied Cañamaque in little more than a generation. Whole families left the dryland farms and their houses shut up, and many later returned only in summer.
