One of the most interesting features of the village is the number of craftsmen who work here, bringing back to life before your eyes many trades which have become very rare. You will be amazed by their congeniality and friendliness.
   
 

The baker,
he comes to his stone oven specially to bake bread before your eyes.


Basket-weaving and Wheat-braiding,
see how the slim stalks are intertwined between the weaver's nimble fingers, to become a basket.


The Farrier
no one matches his skill for manufacturing old fashioned nails and luck-bringing horseshoes.


The Barrel-hoop Maker,
how to select the best branches to make hoops that will encircle the barrels containing our finest wines...


The Spinner,
discover how, from the coarse wool from our sheep, one can spin and work the immaculate strands, as our grandmothers used to do.


The Potter,
see her hands gradually give shape to jugs, vases, jars which she then decorates with talent.

And many more...

During the summer and the themed weekends, the workshops will be held based on a daily schedule. It is advisable to find out about the workshops and reserve them by telephone beforehand.
