Palm and wicker basketry

Historical milestone · Gata de Gorgos, La Marina Alta, Alicante

Image of Gata de Gorgos, not of the place itself.

The town lived for generations on the working of palm, wicker and esparto: baskets, chairs, panniers and blinds that were sold throughout the comarca and shipped from the port. The workshops are still lined up along the main street, today open to the visitor.
