-They will meet a lot of people, pilgrims and tourists from different places, a cosmopolitan world in a rural micro-world.
-And the world of our young people of Carrion and its region. Young people under 18 are less and less due to migration to work and study. In collaboration with Youth House, Library and Secondary School, the daily contact with young people will be constant.
-And they will also know an aged population, the elderly at the Day Centre.
