ETHNOGRAPHY
Handricraft

The local handicrafts express the relation between the town and the ocean, being the typical dolls and the miniature boats the most relevant pieces of manual work.

Small boats, in wood or ceramic, reproduce, sometimes to the scale, the boats that once were this town’s life. Little dolls traditionally dressed with the working or festive costume and mini fishermen with stocking-cap and tartan trousers are a delight to everyone.

Fishing nets of several sizes, shapes and uses – ornamental and/or utilitarian – are part of the crafts of the fishermen.

Being a town of artists and skilful artisans, here is possible to find oil canvas painting and watercolours depicting coastal life and seascapes, as well as sailor’s arts (mariner’s knots).
