This is what sets the pace of Daniela’s day- to-day. A woman that migrated, a few months later than his husband, from Luna (Rumania) to the province of Burgos, Spain. The Dolha’s are only one of the many examples of migrants that help to mitigate the depopulation of the so called ‘España vacía (emptied Spain)’. This bast and lifeful territory that opposes, since a few decades ago, to a silent and painful depopulating process.

WITH THIS PHOTO REPORT I HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE CANON STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2022 (SELECTED AS ONE OUT OF 100 STUDENTS FROM EMEA TO FULFIL THE MODULE ONE OF THE CANON STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME).
