Letter from El Barraco
A new series of talks by the BBC's foreign correspondents begins in a village in central Spain, where Jeremy Harris reports on the two-way pull of rural family life in the 1980s. El Barraco , he finds, is one of many Spanish pueblos whose sons and daughters have to travel far and wide in search of work, while their dreams remain rooted in the countryside they leave behind.
