The La Manga bridge by nilserik1

This photo has been uploaded before, and it may not be the last time I upload it either. This is one of my photos that I have a hard time being satisfied with, so I redo it from time to time. This here is my latest edition and it may not be the last but I think it is very much better than the last. Hope you like it.

Chickpeas Toaster (Yeste, Albacete, Spain). by FranciscoGarciaRios

Music (Open link in new tab): Bill Douglas Dancing in the Wind.
(Descripción en español más abajo)
-English:
Chickpeas roaster, hard at work, in the Traditions Fair of Yeste (Albacete, Spain).
He is stirring with the “mocho” (a kind of broom made with straw) the chickpeas mixed with plaster, which is commonly used in masonry, in the cauldron on the fire in oven.
The process of making these popular chickpeas (popularly called “garbanzos torraos” in spanish) starts scalding them in boiling salted water for about 4 minutes, then they are put in a burlap sack until the next day, when they are ready to be roasted on the fire in the cauldron. Just when they begin to click is when they are put away from fire and hover in a sieve to withdraw the excess of plaster, thus being ready to eat.
Yeste Traditions Fair is held every year during the last weekend of October, providing a picturesque and interesting display of matters, customs and traditional trades, which the locals recreate in the castle courtyard, showing to visitors the great and distinctive cultural heritage that they treasure. It’s well worth a visit.
-Español:
“Torraor” de garbanzos, en plena faena, durante la Feria de Tradiciones de Yeste, removiendo con el “mocho” (una especie de escoba hecha con esparto) los garbanzos mezclados con yeso, del que habitualmente se utiliza en albañilería, en el caldero puesto al fuego en el horno.
El proceso de elaboración de estos populares frutos secos comienza escaldando los garbanzos en agua hirviendo con sal durante unos 4 minutos, para después meterlos en un saco de arpillera hasta el día siguiente, en que ya están listos para torrarlos en el caldero con yeso puesto al fuego, hasta que comienzan a chascar, momento en que se apartan y se ciernen en un cedazo para retirarles el sobrante yeso, quedando así listos para comer.
El “garbanzo torrao”, además de ser un popular fruto seco muy empleado en aperitivos y picoteos, cobra, incluso, protagonismo en el folklore manchego, habiendo una popular seguidilla que reza: “como sé que te gustan los garbanzos torraos, por debajo la puerta te los echo a puñaos”.
La Feria de Tradiciones de Yeste viene celebrándose todos los años durante el último fin de semana del mes de Octubre, constituyendo un pintoresco e interesante retablo de menesteres, costumbres y oficios tradicionales, que los lugareños recrean en el patio de armas y dependencias del castillo, a la vista del visitante, a fin de dar a conocer el magno y característico serrano cultural legado que atesoran. Merece la pena visitarla.
