Story
Alicia naceu o 6 de maio de 1987.
Dende pequena vivíu na casa dos seus avós (polo tanto tamén os meus) na aldea de Carantoña, parroquia de Tállara.
Cando tiña 4 anos no 1991 seus pais (os meus tíos, Perfecta e José) levarona vivir a Noia , xunto co seu irman maior , Daniel.
Alí estivo vivindo a maior parte da súa vida.
Unha vez acabado o bacharelato con 18 anos no 2005 quixo estudar Maxisterio e para iso foise a vivir a Santiago de Compostela durante 3 anos.
Ó rematar a carreira, con 21 anos, estivo estudando as oposicións para Educación Infantil. Polo que volveu a vivir en Noia na casa dos seus pais.
Despois de 2 anos aprobou as oposicións e déronlle o primeiro destino definitivo en Vilalonga- Sanxenxo, preto da praia da Lanzada,a que ía pasear moi habitualmente , era algo que a relaxaba moito.
Polo tanto, con 23 anos no 2010, foise vivir alí durante 5 anos que estivo traballando nese colexio.
Despois deses 5 anos déronlle unha praza noutro colexio máis preto da casa familiar.
Con 28 anos no 2015 comezou a traballar no colexio de Portosín. Esta vez non lle facía falla saír do colexio para ir dar un paseo pola praia como o que adoitaba dar en Vilalonga!!! Porque no patio dese colexio xa entra área ,ó estar tan preto da praia!!!
Aínda así non foi a vivir a Noia, alugou un piso en Bertamiráns para vivir coa súa parella.
Logo de estar dous anos no piso fixeron unha casa preto do núcleo de Bertamiráns.
E por agora con 31 anos non se mudou máis.

Historia
O meu avó emigrou a Países Baixos(antes Holanda) con 22 anos, vendo que en España non encontraba un traballo que lle permitise gañar o sufuciente diñeiro para sobrevivir. Viaxou en tren ata Amsterdan e dende alí foi a Haarlem onde empezou a traballar nunha gran fábrica de productos petrolíferos, empezou limpando os baños e acabou como xefe de sección, dixome que o que mais lle chamou a atención e a hospitalidade da xentee como deixaban cosas fora das casas e ninguén as collio como o periódico ou o leite, estivo alí 13 anos tempo no que pudo aforrar e mandar diñeiro a súa casa. Dende alí foise para Vigo, no 1977, onde vivíu un ano sen encontrar un bo traballo, dende alí marchouse a Ourense, onde estivo 9 anos, ata marchar a un concello de está mesma provincia, chamado Chandrexa de queixa para montar unha coperativa, onde actualmente sigue residindo.

Story
Benita had a voluntary migration, she left school as many teenagers in those years to start working. She lived in Laza, a small village in Ourense where most people lived from agriculture. Because of this, young people emigrated to get a better future. Some had an international migration, mainly to Switzerland, Germany and Holland, as is the case of my uncles Quin and Paco. Others emigrated within Spain, mainly to the País Vasco, Madrid and Barcelona.
When her maternal cousin called Carmen found out about her position, she gave her job at her bar in Barcelona as a waitrees and on other hand as a nanny for her son. So she had and internal emigration.
In 1967, she met a young man called Manuel with whom she married and had three children.
In 1972, Manuel's brother died and they returned to attend the funeral and be with the rest of the family in those difficult times. But since Manuel´s brother ran the family business, the parents decided that he would take over the business. So that same year they came back to Lugo, Manuel´s hometown.
