Antonio Del Pozo Gonzalez, who personally ploughed the roads two years ago during the worst blizzard ever seen in decades in central Spain, has been the mayor of the village. Antonio is hands down one of the most passionate about Berzosa del Valle. In my humble opinion, I think he lives ahead of his time according to the things he has achieved. Besides, over the years, Antonio has created an impressive social infrastructure with three important institutions. As a consequence of that, more than one-third of the village’s population either work or live in one of the preferred organisations.

Denis moved to Berzosa Del Lozoya from Peru. He first moved to Madrid to work in a children's home. He didn't hesitate to move to the village once he came to know about it, as the cost of living is extraordinarily low as compared to the city. He says, "Additionally, the environment is unique; moreover, if you stop to think, while on-site, you cannot find a single clue about the closeness of one of the biggest metropolitan areas in Europe." He enjoys going to the reservoir in the summer and regularly hikes uphill to the panoramic point to see the beautiful views.

Carmen, who works at the Jicoteca Foundation, has decided to put down roots in Berzosa. She and her husband have raised their two daughters here “so they could grow up in a safe and natural environment”. She particularly loved the fact that, in this setting, they would have a say in their daughter's school and educational decisions.

Kees (pronounced Keh-is) is a kind Dutch man who moved to the village two years ago with Vicente, his partner. They both ran away from the city, as they admit. Funny enough, they knew about the place by pure chance: they saw a plot of land for sale and decided to go check it out on-site to see if it would meet their expectations for building their dream house. Before even spotting their future property, they got to know Berzosa’s people, who, as Kees literally said, “received them with arms wide open." Therefore, it could not have been otherwise: they fell in love with either their neighbours or the municipality. Two years later, on that day, Vicente and Kees would never conceive the idea of living far from the place they proudly call home.
