Curiosity · Cañizares, Serranía Alta, Cuenca

Image of Cañizares, not of the place itself.

The people of Cañizares are called cuchareros, spoon makers, because their forebears carved spoons out of boxwood and pine which they then sold in Cádiz, Valencia and Madrid, a trade that shaped the town's identity.
