What shall we do?
In detail
If there is one thing that characterises Arafo, it is its agricultural wealth, precisely because of the variety of products that are produced on this land. Furthermore, it is also due to the different women who are the protagonists of these agricultural methods. On this route we will focus on the production of honey and the traditional shepherding of Pelibuey sheep. Therefore, we will meet Pilar and Marta, two transcendental women in the rural life of Arafo.
Pilar rescues the traditional grazing of the Pelibuey Sheep through the ancestral knowledge of this technique, producing the first organic lamb meat in the Canary Islands. For her part, Marta is the only baker who still preserves the original “pan de Arafo” (Arafo bread) baked in a wood-fired oven.
Following in the footsteps of their paths, we will cross the agricultural and cultural enclave of this area and we will be able to draw up a broad and real map of Arafo, one that allows us to pinpoint their work and follow the footprints of their footsteps.
The path will take us past important cultural landmarks, such as the washing places at the start of the route And if we wish to continue all the way to the end, it ends at the ovens of “Lo de los Ramos” belonging to the old Augustinian monastery, the remains of which have been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
WITHOUT THEM, NEITHER BEES NOR SHEEP
