| Wickerwork in Andalucia |
Crafts
using vegetable fibres are usually related to farm work and country
living, although wickerwork is widely sold in the urban areas
also,
and includes chairs and tables, as well as smaller articles made
of wicker, rattan, bamboo and rushes.
Small factories still operate in cities such as
Seville and Cadiz, making excellent horse-drawn wagons for use
in the local fiestas
and pilgrimages, as well as cabinetwork for churches, coffered
ceilings, wood carving, gilding, lathe work, tapestry and chairs.
Barrel
production is mainly located in the wine making areas such
as Jerez, Cadiz,
Huelva and Cordoba.
