The water channels and half-doors

Curiosity · Candelario, Sierra de Béjar, Salamanca

Image of Candelario, not of the place itself.

Along the streets run regaderas, small channels with water from the mountain snow pits that served to clean up after singeing the pigs; the batipuertas, half doors of wood, acted as a barrier for finishing off the animals from inside the house.
