It goes through various stages, from the harvest to storage, which requires technique and ingenuity, and contributes greatly to the recognised quality of the famous nectar of the gods. The oak wood is carefully chosen, cut, demolished and customised to the desired shape. The curved boards, or staves, form the body, the iron rims are fitted, and the cylindrical, bulbous receptacle is born, the perfect cradle for a perfect creation &#8211; the kites or similar vessels. Of different sizes and sizes, barrels, casks and vats naturally preserve the wine, keeping its characteristics unchanged, or even accentuating them to their utmost perfection, such as the most vivid example of Port Wine, carefully produced in the Douro Demarcated Region. Utilitarian in nature, stave vessels also fulfil a decorative function, combining rusticity with functionality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a80ec e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"55a80ec\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5205b1d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5205b1d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771ab19 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"771ab19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-41375\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/discoverdouro.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/renda-de-gancho-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-203a204 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"203a204\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Barqueiros lace <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-882449f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"882449f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Attention is drawn to the famous Barqueiros lace, especially the characteristic &#8220;panos de gancho&#8221;.

They are made up of two pieces of wood joined at the bottom, with two spaces where the thumb and forefinger are inserted to connect the two sides, which produce sound when they collide. They are considered an idiophone instrument because they produce sound through their own vibration. They are always played by men and usually accompany the dances &#8216;Chula Rabela&#8217; and &#8216;Fui ao Douro \u00e0s Vindimas&#8217; from the Barqueiros Songbook and Folklore.<\/p><p>The origin of this traditional instrument is historical. Memory tells us that they began to be used on the Rabelo boats by sailors and arraisers who lived in the parish of Barqueiros, to liven up the stops during the transport of the Port wine barrels to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. The Castanhetas produced sound to indicate where the boats were located on foggy days, preventing them from crashing.<\/p><p>This instrument, exclusive to the parish of Barqueiros, in the municipality of Mes\u00e3o Frio, has not been made anywhere else in the world. Castanhetas vary in value depending on their size, materials used and construction time. Folklore tradition is very much present in these pieces, with the characters dressed in traditional Rancho costumes, with the typical blouse, scarf and baskets on the women and the traditional hat and waistcoat on the men.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flavours and Knowledge Mes\u00e3o Frio Sweets\/savouries Vila Marim biscuit A genuine rectangular sweet, made from wheat flour, sugar, water, eggs, cinnamon and the traditional secret handed down from generation to generation, which is guaranteed to sell out at fairs, festivals and pilgrimages in the north, in pamphlets equivalent to the size of the tray on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-41548","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
