The depopulation of small villages in recent years is a fact too obvious. The population decline with the emigration of young people to cities in search of a future stable employment are two of the main factors. A clear example is the town of Luna cincovillesa. This town like many others, has a living farming and ranching, no alternatives in the future to enable new generations to think of living there. This has led to a progressive and unstoppable aging of the population.
In the last decade, Luna has seen its population decline by 5%. Has grown from 930 inhabitants in 1998 to 886 today, that despite seeing how each day we receive more immigrants of different nationalities.
The village had a total of 4 immigrants in 1998, three Germans and an American, currently has with 54.
This increase means that approximated 6% of the total population is of German nationality (3), Bulgarian (17), Polish (4), Romanian (21) and Ukraine (4). Most work
especially in the primary sector. Some are woodcutters, shepherds, farmers, while others opt for small business or arbañilería hoteliers.
At first, most come alone in search of safe, but soon after, when they get the papers bring the rest of the family. A family usually includes women, and some other child. Hence the arrival of immigrants to small towns is seen as the only way to avoid the extinction of children in small rural villages.
A direct consequence of their integration is multicultural diversity. The union of such different cultures and has tended tradiones positive and negative consequences among the residents of Luna. Most are uncomfortable with the arrival of immigrants whom they consider friendly and workers. Many older people of the village are identified with these people, in their day they had to leave their homes and go to other countries in search of work. "We were also immigrants," Mariano Luna says he remembers old times.
Nevertheless, it is easy to find people who have experienced difficult situations having them as neighbors.
On the other hand, are the feelings that have the immigrants themselves facing a new life in small towns. A particular case is that of a young Ukrainian who came to Moon just over a year and a half with some illusions he had lost in his country. There he worked as a mason and is now a pig farm while waiting to get the papers to be a English citizen. Vladimir, Luna has returned the peace he sought. When looking around, I like to observe in detail all architectural buildings in the country disappeared because of the successive wars. At Lunero who knows the calls affectionate and very friendly since it has never been in any town or insult with xenophobic aggression.
He is one of the privileged who has achieved the expected economic stability. I recently was able to bring his wife, his mother and little girl who will soon begin his studies at the local school.
For the Ukraine, has not been easy to integrate these into a village of this type but is aware that they have at their disposal everything they need to live without any difficulty.
not dare to look ahead until you get those papers that his bosses expected him being processed.
A life full of new expectations that are transmitted both immigrants and residents of the population who view them as the possible future of the town.
Although we are focused on Luna, the village is just one of many found throughout Spain Aragon in the process of depopulation. His neighbors are seeing as many of its inhabitants leave the town, other than countries come to her in search of lost illusions.
As usual, the stories are repeated but upside. Now they come, but a few years ago, it was us. A large part of the English population had to leave and leave all that was to raise her family.

. "Grouped Rural College (CRA) today closed two units Monlora if students are immigrants," says John, the head of the school of the town of Luna. In this hamlet, 10 of the 51 school children are immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania. In other localities that make up the CRA such as Castejon de Valdejasa, the 4 children who attend school are bolibianos, which means that the continued closing of the school or depend on them. This and other localities have experienced a considerable decline in population due to emigration of younger people to large urban centers. A clear example is that this year only two children have begun the first course of education throughout the CRA Infaltil Monlora. In the case of Luna, Bulgarian children unlike the Romanians, they miss school regularly without any justification, no interest in learning and care little personal hygiene. On the other hand, the Romanian children who are four in this school have been fully integrated and show great interest in aprender.Para that immigrant students to achieve the appropriate level, teachers prepare their individual work folders, although the contents may not be comparable to the course than their share because of their age. "They bring their countries very low level of knowledge in all subjects. Sometimes, at 6 or 7 years do not know how to take a bolígraro "says John, the head of the school. For this reason, have decided to dedicate six hours a week exclusively for reinforcement. As for the subject of religion, Romanian children have not had any problems in studying it because they consider it very similar to yours. It was not the case Bulgarian students, who have opted for educational services as an alternative to religión.A matter despite all the difficulties of teaching in schools with children as young as linguistic diversity, teachers considered that "his arrival at the CRA can Monlora prevent the closure of two units, and therefore the dismissal of two professors "A decision as the director says will not be known until next May 15 when it is expected that the Ministry takes a decision.
"If it were not for immigrants, Moon had closed part of the business of hospitality," said Phillip Longan, a local resident. This farmer, who has had a Romanian boy working in his family business is delighted with the arrival of people new to small rural towns. "You never have suggested to anyone, are focused on bring up their families, and have even made efforts to integrate the traditions of our village," says Philip when he remembers the celebrations with a Romanian family makes the he has real affection. "I met Lawrence a few years ago, a young Romanian, and since then we have become inseparable. Today is my father, "says the Lunero excited. There is only one thing that unites us all. Philip is not involved at all in the culinary tastes of the Romanian espeñola preferred food, which he says "does not carry so many spices." Given the comments about the intrusiveness of immigrants in different jobs, the Lunero believes we are living a time when young people may asking too much, and imnigrantes advantage to work because their countries have known what it is like necesidad.Una very different view that shows the CM, a young Ateca living alone in this hamlet on casual. His neighbors Bulgarians make noises late at night and have had violent fights. "On several occasions I have had the phone in his hand to call the Guardia Civil. Live alone and I have fear that something will happen someday, "says the young scary when he recalls the fight a few weeks ago had the two families of Bulgarians for economic reasons. In addition to the violence they had witnessed, she can not stand the dirt that accumulate neighbors down the stairs continuously and torpor comes off for lack of personal hygiene. An untenable situation that has led him to seek a new place to live until the end of his contract of employment. "Sometimes I say things that intimidate me so that I have managed to create such uncertainty that I dare not go out alone once it's dark," says st is considered very serious racist because Ateca that she lives with immigrants but with one big difference: "I think they have no problems alcolholismo."
