Capacho de Acarreo

The Capacho de Acarreo was made of esparto fibres braided using the traditional 'pleita' technique. Already in use during Pedro and Jesús's grandfather's time, these type of bags were traditionally used for harvesting olives. While the upper handles were convenient for transportation, the side handles were particularly useful for throwing the olives in the 'serón', a much larger basket carried by donkeys.
