Treading The Grapes & Visit...!!

The young girls in their traditional dresses carried the grapes in baskets to be deposited in the half barrel ready to be trampled.

The videos give a flavour of the event.

Arrived back at the house to find ‘Ruin’ man and his wife just padlocking the door of the ruin. Obviously the old grapevine works well in Spain and they had come round to investigate the drainage pipes. After a slightly heated / apologetic conversation in Spanish with the wife it was conveyed that these pipes were a temporary measure and would be gone by Monday!
