Baskets of Palma de Margalló - Pinet

Baskets, storages, brooms, brushes.

The crops are all rainfed; The most widespread is the olive tree, followed by the almond and carob tree plum. Livestock has more than 20 poultry farms and a pig farm. In terms of craftsmanship, it is worth mentioning the ancient activity of making palm baskets in an artisanal way; Proof of this is the fact that most adults know how to work the heart of palm that grows in the same mountain of the term. These carrybags served the farmer to carry the tools to go to the field. And for the women they made some specials to go to buy, as well as the "sitiets" that were used to go to the oven and take the rice casserole to the oven already cooked towards home. It could be that Pinet was one of the few towns (if not the only one) of the Albaida Valley where it was worked and that this tradition is still preserved.
