The Melado Valley today |

Although faced with extreme distress, some families never left the mountains, others returned driven away from the brutal shock of city life, where they became marginalized because their skills were not relevant for jobs.
Currently, the Melado community retains 55 families, a total of 250 adults and children. Their way of life is very basic, they live in small huts made from clay, wood and straw, mud floors and a hearth in the middle around which a family and community life develops.
Lucrative activity is limited to veranadas grazing, to the foot and mouth disease border overseen by the Livestock and Agriculture Service (SAG in Spanish) supported by helicopters and policed guarding points.
