Source text - Spanish Déjame hablarte de un lugar donde el tiempo se sigue sentando a la sombra de un castaño... donde los árboles de fronda le hacen túneles a los ríos... donde el milagro de Noé se hace tapete de cepas y surco de pámpanos.
Porque fue en este mismo lugar donde alguien sembró una vez un sueño que hoy se puede palpar con los ojos.
Esta es una tierra generosa de ubres y huertas que brinca de contenta cuando la pisa el hombre que la tiene fe, que le pone ganas, que la quiere hasta esposarse y que se esposa hasta la muerte a estos surcos y a todos los horizontes que hasta aquí se extienden. Entonces, viendo al hombre que la mima, esta tierra se derrama en viñas y en cerezos, en manzanos y primores, en coquetería hortelana y robledal... porque esta tierra está prometida a quien la ama y la trabaja.
Translation - English Allow me to tell you about a place where time stands still in the shade of a chestnut tree…where the foliage creates tunnels out of the rivers…where the miracle of Noah is brought out through the vines and furrow of the shoots.
Because it was in this same place where someone once planted a dream that today can be felt with your eyes.
This is a generous land of udders and gardens which jumps for joy when it is stepped upon by the man who has faith in it, who works it heartily, who loves it as if it were his wife, and who weds these furrows and all of the surrounding horizons until death. Upon seeing the man that pampers it, this land spills over in vines and cherry trees, in apple trees and exquisiteness, in orchard coquetry and oak…because this land is engaged to the one who loves and works it.

Source text - Spanish La mayoría de las personas que han participado en la F.O. han vivido situaciones de desempleo antes de iniciar la acción formativa (más de ocho de cada diez alumnos/as), siendo más frecuente entre las mujeres que entre los hombres.
Constituyen también mayoría quienes han estado en el paro durante un período dilatado de su vida, siendo el tiempo medio de duración del desempleo superior a los cinco años. Únicamente 1 de cada 10 ha permanecido en el desempleo menos de 6 meses; y 2 de cada 10 han estado desempleados un año.
A este respecto, las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres son significativas, duplicando el tiempo medio de desempleo de las mujeres al de los hombres (casi 7 años frente a 3,5). Si entre los hombres el 9,5% ha estado desempleado diez o más años, entre las mujeres este porcentaje se eleva hasta casi tres de cada diez.
Por otra parte, el tiempo medio de estancia en el empleo de los beneficiarios/as se sitúa en torno a los 11 años. En este caso, más de seis de cada diez hombres ha estado empleado más de 10 años, proporción que se reduce al 33% en el caso de las mujeres.
Cantabria. Nueve de cada diez alumnos/as había sufrido el desempleo antes de participar en la formación ocupacional, siendo esta situación algo más habitual entre las mujeres.
La situación refleja una incidencia algo inferior del desempleo de larga duración, particularmente entre los hombres (media de 2 años de desempleo, uno de cada cuatro menos de 6 meses).
El tiempo medio de estancia en el empleo en esta Comunidad se sitúa en torno a los ocho años y medio, registrándose una divergencia inferior entre hombres y mujeres.
Translation - English The majority of the people who participated in Vocational Training were unemployed before beginning the training initiative (more than eight out of ten students), this trend more frequently observed among women than men.
Those who have been unemployed for an extensive period at some time during their life constitute the majority as well, given that more than five years was the average length of time unemployed. Only 1 out of every 10 had been unemployed less than 6 months; and 2 out of every 10 had been unemployed for a year.
In this respect, the differences between men and women are significant, women doubling the average time unemployed of that of men (almost 7 years as opposed to 3.5). If 9.5% among the men had been unemployed for ten or more years, this percentage among women rises to almost three out of every ten.
On the other hand, the average time that the beneficiaries had been employed is around 11 years. In this case, more than six out of every ten men had been employed more than 10 years, lowering to 33% in the case of women.
Cantabria. Nine out of every ten students had been unemployed before participating in Vocational Training, this situation being a bit more common among women.
The situation reflects a slightly lower long-term unemployment incidence, particularly among men (average of 2 years unemployed, one out of four less than 6 months).
The average time unemployed in this Community is around eight and a half years, with a lower divergence having been recorded between men and women.
