The name Adrada is a subject that is not agreed easily upon except that Adrada is not of Spanish origin. One theory that is
"beleived by some," is that Adrada was the name of a Berber tribe (Amazigh) from North Africa. I tend to beleive this to be likely especially after reading this study on Spanish DNA.
 
This website is dedicated to all of the past and present Caamaño / Camaño / Camanio familia de La Adrada, who live in España, America and anywhere else our familia has moved to. But most importantly to my Grandfather Joaquin, my Great Grandfather Mariano and my Great Great Grandfather Sabas Camaño.

It was Sabas who taught Mariano to be a self sufficient farmer and it was Mariano whose dream was to come to
America and buy some good fertil California land, planting a farm and giving their descendants a better life.

Los Camaño's were self suffient farmers in La Adrada, Avila (province),
España. For generations it was their livelyhood to be farmers.

Mariano Camaño achieved his dream after relocating his family to Hawaii. Mariano sold 1/2 of his farm for traveling money to America and gave his oldest son Indalecio, who was already married and with a family, the other 1/2 to work and sell at a later date and eventually meet up with the Camaño familia in California. Indalecio never moved to America and unfortunately Marianos 2nd oldest son Felix found it hard to keep the dream alive and sold the farm sometime after Marianos death.

Now, I, am replanting that dream with De La Adrada Vineyard.

Prayer to St. Francis
Lord make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so
much seek to be consoled as to console; to
be understood as to understand; to be
loved as to love. For it is in giving that we
receive, it is in pardoning that we are
pardoned, and it is in dying that we are
born into eternal life.

Mom and Dad are together again, looking down on us from heaven,
We love you!

Below Nade and Lucy Kovacich.
