Description

After the recent closure of the Carrio well, a symbol of the end of an industry that has marked the character of a town, Barredos faces depopulation and oblivion. However, the testimonies of those who are still alive and the photographic material from the mid-20th century by Corsino García Alonso, a local photographer and grandfather of the author, manage to show that the memory still endures. The stories of its heyday told orally and visually and its characters intertwine and contrast with a current declining, empty post-industrial landscape.
