Farming in our grandparents time vs farming today. Text.

You know that many things are changing very fast: AI, drones, intelligent cars that drive by themselves... On this report I will tell you about the changes in Agriculture, comparing our grandparents time with our time.

• Mechanization. In our grandparent's time, all farming was carried out without modern machines. Only human work and animal strength. Our grandpas harvested with scythes and sickles, sowed by hand; and ploughed the fields with mules and oxen. Today, fortunately, the thing is very different: havesters collect the crops very fast; tractors can plough a field in hours; drones fly over the fields detecting possible pests and wiping them out...

• 
  Pesticides. In our grandparent's time, if a pest appeared in a field, nothing could be done. Only to pray for a miracle. Today, fortunately, we have chemical products which kill or prevent pests, being able to save the entire harvest.

• Fertilizers. Many time ago the only way to fertilize a field was by means of manure (animal excrements) Today, fortunately, we have a wide variety of chemical products which help crops to grow faster and healthier.

• Modern irrigation systems. In our grandparent's time, irrigation systems were very primitive: they flooded the growing fields, making the water flow by ruts. This system wasted a lot of water. Today, fortunately, we have the drip irrigation: a very efficient system which waters the plant drop by drop, saving a lot of water.

Santa Amalia mystery stories. Serna's cave and treasure.

Many time ago an old man lived in Ramón y Cajal street, here, in Santa Amalia. His name: Sr. Mariano. When I was 18 years old, that is, in 2002, he was already very old, over 90 years old. He knew a lot of stories and legends about Santa Amalia. He used to talk to me and to my friends. One of the most interesting stories he told us was the legend of Serna's cave and treasure.

Who was Serna?

Serna was a bandit who lived and died at the end of the XIX century. He used to assault carts and stagecoaches in the Royal Way, a very old path from Madrid to Badajoz. Serna worked alone: he didn't trust anyone.

What happened to him?

The thing is not very clear. Sr. Mariano told us that Serna had suddenly dissapeared on 1899. Some people said he has been killed by La Guardia Civil in a shooting, in the middle of the forest. Other people suspected that he has escaped to Andalucía. The fact: he never returned again. This story would not be interesting "per se"... But there is something that changes everything: a treasure.

The treasure.

Indeed, Serna was a very efficient outlaw. There are many testimonies of assaulted travellers telling that Serna took from them silver coins, jewels, banknotes, gold... However, Serna did not expend this money. He had a very humble life, even poor, hunting in the forest and stealing from travellers. So... Where was all that loot? Well, Sr Mariano told us that in Valdecabreros, a country estate close to Alico, there is a hidden cave, in the middle of a very thick forest. Many people suspected that Serna had buried all his treasure in that cave or somewhere close to that place. 

So, if you have someone who knows Valdecabreros, maybe you can start a treasure hunt. Perhaps you'll become rich.
