VIAJAMOS en el TIEMPO para REVIVIR por un instante NUESTRO PASADO! con @DeteccionMetalica

Today I'm at Nabelgas We 're going to visit a town thanks to the collaboration of the City Council I've either reclaimed a party or perhaps not reclaimed it at all They 've been doing it for 20 years and what they actually do is recreate old trades and chores carried out nearly a hundred years ago or even longer Here with me is Virgilio whom I have right here That's the one who told me about the party because I hadn't found out myself honestly I truly appreciate you letting me know because if not This is the best town around Yes yes Virgilio Virgilio has a strong connection here as he's family to them and he's from around these parts So I'll leave you with the intro I hope you really enjoy the video as always I've left the social media links down below and I'll see you right now This festival renamed a few years ago as Noche Mágica del Esfollón y Amagosto reenacts the Esfollaza This activity involved gathering people from various households in the village who came to offer assistance To husk shell in Asturian the corn that had been harvested subsequently register them The members of each household due to the amount of maize cultivated do not undertake these tasks alone arvesting which requires as many people as possible willing to participate in the work Once the roof repair is complete the homeowners as a token of gratitude prepare a snack for the helpers Given the time of year we are in autumn it could well be the amagosto a traditional festival throughout Asturias Roast the chestnuts and serve them with freshly pressed sweet cider The traditional gathering once meant more than just assistance with husking corn ears as it was also a time for the community to come together and to foster social interaction which is precisely what the festival aims to promote From the bottom of my heart I highly recommend that you not miss this celebration next year—it's a unique opportunity to reconnect with our ancestral traditions It is celebrated on November 12 in Nabelgas Could you tell me a little about what you're working on This is called cocking it And what's more it' s about intertwining all the panollas making this one a connection just as you'd braid a ponytail on the third one Of course When the girls had long hair they used to do it like this— braided and this is so they can keep it from getting in the way Hang it up after the baking right So it can dry Exactly Well look at that such hard work huh But right away What used to be the rafter was about this long So they were three or four meters long right Yeah you still had to go like two or three fellow townspeople and then if the basket was tall fine but if it wasn't tall the first thing that had to be touched was the head on top Of course Yes yes measuring what you said they measured Then you had to slip them between the railing and the hand where they belong The railings by a handrail had to be lifted just right then left there and as they lowered they marked the shoulder We can already see that the hard work began right here Yes indeed Look there they are doing even more And well that’s heavy huh You can already see how hard it is to move right Imagine one as the gentleman mentioned earlier They could be up to three or four meters long right They had to weigh their share These people were made of sterner stuff All around the basket huh All around the basket I'll post a picture somewhere soon so you can get an idea of what it was like Next I went to see how the sweet cider was made Here both children and elders can participate in the pressing from the apple to obtain this delicacy which is the freshly squeezed juice of the apple Here in Asturias it's called sweet cider which is precisely what it is before it's fermented and turned into alcohol And a good gym huh And now we're going to try to locate the turner the person in charge of shaping the wood Well and they do all sorts of things here Virgilio did you see A whole bunch of dishes Look they're working on some slogans The craftsmanship of the countryside And you can see all the things they have here can't you Pure craftsmanship Well I'm here with Arturo Arturo this is an old It looks like a lathe doesn't it Yes this is the half-turn lathe used to craft the pieces found in traditional tableware the western part of Asturias especially where this type of piece was most commonly used which is exactly what I have here It's very simple: a rod on top acting as a spring with the strap attached and wrapped around the pedal making one turn here around the pickguard Pressing the pedal causes the part to rotate in one direction and releasing it returns it to the other The movement is used to work the piece with a cheerful blade-like tool making two cuts gradually shaping it I'm doing what is emptying a plate I've already finished the outer part Everything inside is being emptied That central shaft that's left at the end gradually gets smaller and will eventually leave the piece completely turned How long might this lathe take This type of lathe was already in use during Roman times this particular version being a copy it is not as old as one might think I did it myself but respecting the original form Tradition you know Well incredible Thanks for teaching us This ancient profession Arturo Thanks to you And in this building here we have the school And you can see how it's set up Brutal huh I'm reading here on this sign that the material is requested by the rural schools of Morada Parada Folgueiras Muñalen and Naraval The desks are brutal Yeah they're the same as the school I filmed right In the other video But as you can see it's been rebuilt superbly And well at the station we'll have a blacksmith right That's what I'm seeing So once we can clear this area a bit I'll show it to you We thought it was the blacksmith's shop but no—it' s where they roast chestnuts And now you see here— e system they have set up That's how chestnuts were traditionally roasted back then There you have it Beneath this century-old bakery lie two other trades—the blacksmith who forged metal and the woman who worked the loom The wool the spinner Wow it's cold And here is the woolen craft So they can extract it properly Nothing better than a lady of the era Working on it What exactly are you doing What What exactly are you doing Well spinning The craft of spinning Because they have osteoarthritis It's a cold machine so it takes a little effort But look look how it still manages The knack never fades It's extremely well organized because I'm telling you at every location you come across a trade And it has to be recreated but they recreate it exactly as it was As you can see everything is authentic There's nothing that's The blower Watch how the pressurized fire immediately bursts out That's what gives the iron its vibrant red glow making it workable just as you see here So nothing Well we'll keep going that way Look at the smoke from the yar huh That's why the houses we usually record are all black Because the smoke has condensed And it was completely black But this is a functioning yar Look Here's the oven with the bread inside It's starting to smell good I think they're selling those stuffed buns out there Well look here—these are all the buns you saw in the oven they're already here with you because you're selling them right You sell them over there to the public So good rich and hot And Dani's going for a pizza instead of the spicy buns Well that's just how it is So let's go ahead and buy a couple of them to also give some benefit to these places that truly deserve it Well we've already got our two buns and how they are Absolutely fantastic right Yes and besides it's not very noticeable because it's nighttime But look at the streets with the baskets and everything—they're absolutely stunning I wish we could see a bit better but well it's nighttime So nothing much let's keep going— there are still more things to see Well we came here to the back of the countertops The whole thing falls apart And what about you How do you want them With honey or sugar With honey both of them Look at how delicious it looks How many have you made so far Roughly speaking Four or five Just that Four thousand Roughly four thousand Because Virgilio told us there wouldn't be anyone here and look at this But it's worth coming isn't it It really is worth coming Well after waiting over half an hour here are the frisuelos— something I hadn’t mentioned before but it's a traditional dessert From here in Asturias you can sweeten them with honey or sugar These ones are with sugar And they're absolutely fantastic So if you'd like to learn a bit more just check Google —I'm not a chef and recipes aren't really my thing Well we're moving from food stall to food stall because Virgilio was coming hungry today and Dani too And well yes we’ve definitely gone and messed up the floors and now we’re going to order a handmade pizza Because these kids make them entirely by hand You’ve got tons of stalls like this right For eating whatever you want You've got roasted chestnuts you've got everything So we're almost done let's order the pizza see if I'm telling you there are tons of people here today Let's see if we can get through them quickly One of the most magical moments of the night was finding myself surrounded by all these people warming by the yar just like a scene from hundreds of years ago where people gathered to chat warm themselves and share all the experiences they had throughout the day The loom is another ancestral craft you can discover at this festival One of the things that surprised me most while talking to the lady was that she had already learned The mayor and the truth is that although it may not seem so there are very few people today who can actually perform this work Its complexity is quite high and the places where one can learn it may be extremely scarce And here we have the gentleman who makes the baskets and as you can see he still does so the traditional way Exactly That's how it was done What kind of wood is this Hazel or chestnut And look he worked it like this He made it incredibly fine And then he created works of art like the ones you're seeing here So just imagine the immense effort this man had to go through to make each basket or little item Look there's a bottle inside What a thoughtful touch Incredible How did you manage that I never expected there to be a bottle inside And what about the other one Is the one next to you for another bottle This was for catching trout A fishing rod Look this was a NASA There it is In miniature Yes they were larger And what was caught Trout It had a trap inside Ah friend You can't appreciate it from inside They couldn't get out It's tiny—sealed shut they went in and never came back They were trapped and didn't know how to get out Yes yes he's already out A camera crew came out there yes Then they didn't know how to exit how to retreat Eight ten or fifteen I've got the fish He's saying there were as many as fifteen inside That didn't contaminate anything And nothing was being contaminated If nothing I've seen so far has contaminated anything then I suppose Not the primitive era no Now it's young people who are doing the polluting Yes indeed We've come to see if we can learn a little from you No one wants to learn from the young Unfortunately None of these things do they wish to learn It will fall to us As we mentioned earlier it will fall to us to return to this It could happen I hope so I actually think it's quite beautiful Not that there was any rush because everything took its time and no one was pushing you Not the rush we feel right now for everything History repeats itself Yes Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it How much better it would be if all women had one of those baskets to go shopping with—no more bringing plastic home polluting the environment A little basket you'd put your groceries in it and reuse it Yes sir You're absolutely right That's just how it is For the fruit You bring the fruit You have it in one of these baskets If you keep it in plastic it lasts three days longer than in any other place Yes And that's something you can verify yourself Yes but it doesn't interest the industry So they sell it to us differently Yes but it's the gold that came on the ship and kept rising saying you've ruined everything But as he was lowering the pole down he said "We got them " "We got them all My apologies " Yes yes it's true You're absolutely right With all the pollution we're all suffering Whoever survives absolutely right And in just a little while It's a tragedy I'm already at my limit but these young people— I think they' ll have to suffer in order to live Indeed difficult times are coming Don't stop to dwell on that thought What do you think Even if you dismiss it as a joke You may laugh it off bu How pitiful land It's approaching It's far more dangerous than people stop to realize Yes we're losing the ability to do anything We don't know how to do anything anymore No but given how pollution is progressing how everything is deteriorating I have Eighty years old and I keep watching the cycles getting worse instead of better as they should have been One would assume We'd have to get better If we' re fools we'll destroy ourselves I don't know if you're listening Yes yes We are the donkeys the human being destroying itself We will learn from it Yes but it's the one in charge and the one with the money It can't be fixed Who takes it apart Very complicated As long as money exists so does greed and evil It's going to be the young ones who take the lead We never stop to consider what it will be like when we have to go to the sea to drink water I think many don't realize And how would they even know how to get water if the electricity goes out I don't even think they'd know where to look for water And it's something essential It's right there Just a few more years The issue is we never stop to consider whether there isn't some force or unity willing to try and resolve things Yes you're absolutely right truly You can't take even one Not a single word It's astonishing to see that there isn't a single trout in the rivers It's true that swallows hardly come anymore Back when we lived at home there used to be eight or ten swallow nests per block And this year none came When there was a neighbor many years ago he caught a swallow that was flying took its eggs and tied a thread of silk on foot And he returned five years later to the same nest The very same swallow And now they don't come There are four over there but they aren't coming The birds that red raitán that used to be the one that It's barely noticeable I didn't see any this year It's astonishing how quickly we'regressing
