good e I will tell you a story
but what we apologize for
before I need to do a survey here
between all of us and also those behind us
you are going to fight and I am going to put you
first of all I’m going to ask you
stand up and I’m really sorry but
you have to do it is very fast because
there will not be much time all standing
we also answered that
the joke is not worth now I’m going to ask you
you sit down to a series of people and
I’m going to ask that others stay standing
ok please do not cheat on
all try to think and be sincere
I’m going to ask you to sit down before
do it I will give the order of already worth
I’m going to call people
that you do not see that you do not live in zones
rural and I’m going to ask you to stay on
those who live in towns or zones
rural
this is to simplify voucher please
Let’s see
those in rural areas are standing
proud about everything that they are
looking with envy to see for
here behind
good is not is not bad
well we make a photograph
very interesting to be able to sit
everyone please, I’m sorry to tell you
you could ask for things before you turn
but do not worry we have to
lift everything for the second
question and last question is worth
eye that had nuance worth so that not
there is or there is no doubt today
ask that you raise the ones you have
town, do not hold up yet
call hope that I will qualify those that
you have people I basically mean
not only those who live and have
people I also mean those who
your parents grandparents ancestors
they had town you have a place where
you go in summer where you have a house
etcetera efe three of those that I believe
that you understand me not what you have
town come up
very well thank you very much god
we would do the survey
Well, I too
I also have people we
presented
it’s called prioro and private
and good priority for those who do not
you know is a small town in the
oriental mountain leonesa in a valley
surrounded by amazing landscapes of
mountains of oak beech forests
a very beautiful site but I was not born
there I did not grow up there I’m from town
and I was born in Barcelona and I am the son of
immigrants who one day decided to leave
their villages to go to the city already
many years and what happens when you live in
the city then for you the normal site
the standard place of life is the city
you hardly think of anything else but
I had a secret I had people and
my parents every summer took me
from the city to the town and create
imagine since I was little
it was indescribable I went from the asphalt to
be accompanying my grandfather to milk
the cows with my cousins on by grass
with the tractor in addition what solution
before and and for example could you
find you a day carrying a flock
of clear cows all those experiences
pleasant experiences changed my life
they completely changed my life
They made the world look differently
The fact is that a few days ago when
when I was preparing this talk
decide to internet but as the people
We have a lot of free time on the internet
look at data
I’m going to look at data not know how
is the rural area is right now in
Spain and the world
I ‘m going to pass it very quickly because the
data are usually very boring but I
I have compiled in very positive 3d
fast
the first is the rural population the
world this graph shows the
rural population in the world and they are data
of the world bank and how can we see
well, the low line
basically is to say the future according to
the data is in the cities and in the
megacities everyone is going
en masse to live for cities in the
2007 we passed 50 percent that is
the one of 2007 more people lived
cities
in rural areas but here in
Spain the situation is much more
curious rural population in Spain
Today is the 20% living in a
territory that is bigger than
some European countries is a
territory that is empty
practically demographically
As you can see there in 1980, the
thing was held back by what dates great
immigration what happened for example
my parents but since then the line
has not stopped going down and one last
data 4 thousand and four thousand are the towns
who are at risk of disappearing 4
thousand municipalities that have less than 500
inhabitants and who are at risk of
disappear and many of them go to
disappear
inevitably what happens is that those 4
thousand municipalities are half of the
Municipalities that exist in Spain
those are many places and of course when
see one this and want to give a talk
optimistic about the town because you get
it puts the complicated thing
so he says good I’m going to try
we return a priori good the case is that
many people will wonder why I
matter to me all this is because since
I have not lived in the
city
I live in the village I live in my village I live
in prior and of course I do not only care
I also care logically for
all the people who live in the town my
friends my family my neighbors a lot
of people who live there and who want
continue living there but see how their
towns are fusing little black to
little bit
the case is that I try from the beginning
of the optimistic talk and I said good what
I will try especially because you have to
break many myths many myths about
the peoples the villages
nowadays they are not what I lived
when I went to visit my grandparents
since I was little
the people today are in a
connected and globalized world as the
cities exactly the same
and of course that is for the good and for what
bad but I ‘m going to count five things
good
very quickly the first one is
that pollution for example the
peoples is practically non-existent in
comparison with cities the
luminous light pollution the
the noise
environmental pollution for example
to be able to hear the sound of silence or
the nature or being able to see the stars
for example at night
that’s a wonderful challenge for a
photographer like me
then there is also the feeling of
community within the towns is
wonderful and has nothing to do with the
cities
I invite you to explore it the fact that
a single person will live to a
town is as important as if they go a thousand
or 10 thousand to a city each person in the
town is very important
then the quality of life life
simple in the villages you live better
with less and that’s what I could
check since I’m there because
because you take away the essentials or leave
but all of life as dispensable
that you are removing because in it the
idiosyncrasy of a town is like this
and then there is also another issue the
relationship with nature
We are not knowing about nature
because we live in cities and the
knowledge of nature is very
important that we keep it because if
things like this can not happen to us
news that I saw two weeks ago in
internet 16 million Americans
believe that chocolate milk tastes
with browns
Of course you can say good is there
Well, no
that’s because there they do those
statistics but they did tell you here
imagine or do I know that blue cheese
as it is blue because it comes from the house
blue is I who know
a lot of eye because this is a joke but for
if perhaps this weekend to make a
visit to the field
ok I do not ask you to milk a cow
but hey you can take a picture if
you want good and finally
Internet
Internet has changed the lives of
peoples has practically equated the
and cities such spending today
communication access to
information access to purchases
we can buy what we want, not what
they bring home
access to culture to be able to study
a race over the Internet
I know a lot of people who do it or a
very important thing for me that
work because I work through
internet and that allowed me to go live and
stay living in priority, this is a
photograph of my grandfather my grandfather
benito and that is the time more or less
in which he takes as a child to visit him
in that window that that right hand of
the window was the kitchen the trivet
and my grandfather during the summers I
I taught to read and I wish I wish he
I was here to see that 30 years
later I would be in that same house
behind that same window a house
new and different but the same place
with my office mounted working
through internet with clients
international
for this trip when I ‘m not in a
filming I am there in that same house in the
same place in the same town and
then I thought it is possible if I am
there another person can find his
method to see a town if you want
live in a village in a village you live
very well because what it raises the most and is
the future of the peoples we have to
think about how we want the
our towns
those in the 21st century because if not a day
I present my nephew hector who already
has visited the town twice and has
a year and a half and if one day he my
nephew hector pequeñín grows and
in 30 or 40 years I was here
same giving us a talk to all
us and we wonder who has
town that gets up maybe does not
raise nobody
thank you very much
