CRAFTS

Throughout the centuries crafts have been of great importance to culture and economy in Terres de l'Ebre. Although it is a sector where in terms of jobs, it has become almost symbolic, there are numerous villages which have preserved their traditions. Pottery is produced in Miravet, Tivenys and La Galera, baskets made from palm leaves (from the European fan palm tree) are still crafted in villages like Alfara de Carles, Mas de Barberans, Paüls, Els Reguers, Pinell de Brai and Rasquera. Other craft work which has been developed in this area uses dry stone, or leather as a raw material.
