Activity · Chañe, El Carracillo, Segovia

Image of Chañe, not of the place itself.

For years the village has been reviving in Semana Santa the burning of the resin residues in the peguera, the process of three or four days by which the pitch makers obtained the pitch to caulk boats, barrels and wineskins.
