Disappearing trades in the area

OneLinePULSE Publications is preparing articles and maybe even another site dealing with disappearing trades and/or crafts in the Campo de Gibraltar area. This is a photo of Prospero's friend Pedro, who is a talabartero, a  generic term for 'saddler' that can sometimes even include upholstery. Pedro, who lives and works in Jimena, makes those wonderfully colourful things worn by mules and donkeys during ferias and other special occasions - more photos, sent in by Gonzalo Pozo, below.>

Other trades or crafts we are interested in: shoe mending, wood craft (e.g. spoons, bowls, etc.), metalwork (smithing?) - and anything you may want to know more about. If you have any ideas, please write a comment below, or CONTACT US (See new widget on sidebar with our new address: albertojimenapulse@gmail.com)
