several weeks ago opened Interpretation Center Land Bañezana (CITB) which is located in the flour mill 'The One' of the Martin family Toral, located on Calle Fray Diego Alonso, an industry that ceased trading in the 1990 and was acquired by the City of La Bañeza as indicated earlier in this blog. After the first discarded the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a Museum of bread flour (which we believe would have been the best option), he finally opted for an interpretive center of the town in which they can make a journey from industry to many other historical, cultural and traditional Bañeza, over three floors of 290 square meters each, which provides for the building.
The machinery of the flour mill has remained in full through the rehabilitation that it had conducted a Training Workshop in the past. In total, investment in the building has been around 1.6 million euros, approximately 60% destined for musealization. However, the CITB has no heating system, which has generated the critical logic in the days after the inauguration.
Store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 14 hours in the morning and 4 to 6 pm and on Sundays and holidays, the CITB will open in the morning from 11 until 2 pm, while only allowed into the museum half an hour before the closure of the facility.
General admission to the Interpretation Center Land Bañezana is EUR 2.50, but discounts are planned for groups and different groups. During the first month of opening the access is free. The facilities are also available to companies or groups wishing to rent the building for various events, whose cost has been set between 150 and 300 euros.
An entrepreneur bañezana of which enlarged the city
I started dealing with Toral and Antonio Martín with his brother Manolo, with reason to start publicizing the movie of the week, in "The Advancement Bañezana" in the sixties and seventies. Once a week, when the contracts were finalized films, I reported to the office of his flour mill, which today is the Office of Tourism, to give me the list of films to be projected in the week following beginning on Saturday.
Gradually I got to know Martin Antonio Toral, which surprised me for its great cultural knowledge, by its sheer simplicity and kindness, and especially for his generosity and charity. It was a business career and knew the world business and finance background. It was a professional like the top of a pine, but mostly it was an exceptional human being, because many times when I was in the office, someone came to ask for alms and nobody said no, all wore something other than what that helped free his left hand knew what was right. He was a man of great intellectual capacity, but at the same time was a deeply Christian and demonstrated on multiple occasions.
I came to the office and Carlos, the accountant who had for many years, gave me the list of films and when he had them and I would lift to leave, I always Antonio said, do not hurry, wait a little longer, and then we started to chat about the vagaries of politics, economics, geography, history, what came out in conversation that often lasted about an hour . When I picked up trust with the two brothers, Antonio told him that I had forgotten much of their courtship, as it was after his wife, lived on the street Miguélez Father, where I still a boy and a girl walking a lot, and at night I saw them both at the door of the house talking in those years, expressions of love could not hit the street, and people commented that they were the prince and Cinderella, because he was from a wealthy family, as it was then, and she was a seamstress, who lived with her other two sisters, dress for women. Antonio laughed because he said "When I met her I liked, loved her, and did not look at anything rather than their virtues, and I've been thoroughly happy with it."
the problems I had had to overcome in the forties, to obtain film build Salamanca, because iron was by quota and could not get hit and it has to stay bought, so you had to find influential friends that will facilitate the purchase. Some summers we agreed on the mountain, when I went to work in summer, because in one of those evenings we made friends with an Asturian used to be alone in the bush and every day we could, my wife and I were going to go with about half past six o'clock. There I met with them several times, along with his inseparable friends, Peter and Francis Escudero Ferreiro. They talked about everything and enjoying nature and good smells of the countryside, while we were legs and commented all the news that emerged both domestically and globally and locally. Antonio's conversation was of deep convictions and never got upset about anything, but do not agree, he disagreements the solution by speaking and trying to convince his interlocutor.
were many discussions we had and through them I can appreciate how much he loved our city and of the efforts made to make it more known, the hard work he did to keep the factory open to both Film meal as Salamanca, but the years do not forgive and although the death of Antonio, he followed his brother Manolo, helped by the family of Marcelo Toral Easter, cousins, in the end had to close the flour mill and later the great Cine Salamanca pride of our city for many years.
