The Villa de El Toro celebrated the inauguration of a bakery last Thursday, an event that has been met with great enthusiasm by its inhabitants. This development represents an important step for the municipality, which seeks to reverse the trend of depopulation it has suffered in recent decades.
“"It has been a celebration. It is another example of all the good things this town, which we love so much, has."
The initiative was made possible thanks to a resident who decided to settle in El Toro with her family. After a change of plans in her life, she found her new home in this town and decided to start a business that has been key for the community.
“"Entrepreneurship is possible within us. And dreams come true. She had a project, and at the town hall, we advised her to get Leader Funds. And we succeeded. Both her and us, because the whole town is celebrating the opening of this new business."
The spirit of collaboration and shared enthusiasm have allowed the town to achieve milestones such as the reopening of the school, the restoration of the castle, and the opening of a shop. This summer, the town expects to exceed the 300 inhabitants mark, breaking the dynamic of population loss.
With the new bakery, residents can once again enjoy freshly baked bread and pastries, reviving the tradition of buying fresh products first thing in the morning and fostering moments of conversation and community in the town.
