It is a variation of the cimbreira (which served as a hermetic container) for a different use. In this case, the lid still fits, but it is no longer hermetic due to the hole for the spoon to come out." Movable Heritage "A small decorative wooden piece, spherical in shape, adapted to be a keychain, as a souvenir." Movable Heritage "A madre\u00f1a is a traditional wooden clog from Asturias, designed to protect the feet from the mud and wet conditions of rural life in the region. Traditionally made from wood, they were used by farmers, shepherds, and workers in the countryside, offering a practical solution for walking in harsh weather conditions.\r\n\r\nIn this case, the madre\u00f1a is a small-sized variation, intricately engraved with the cross from the flag of Asturias and the tourist logo of the region. This version is designed as a souvenir or gift, combining the traditional craftsmanship of the madre\u00f1a with regional symbols, making it a meaningful and unique keepsake for visitors to Asturias." Movable Heritage "The cunqueira or tixileira tradition is an ancient craft with records dating back to the 16th century, associated with a tax linked to this activity in the southwestern region of Asturias, especially in the municipalities of Ibias and Dega\u00f1a, such as Sisterna, El Bao, Trabau, and El Corral\u00edn. This craft was dedicated to wood carving (usually using a lathe) to create domestic utensils, particularly wooden tableware known as "tixelas." Among these objects, the "cachus" (wooden bowls for drinking wine), "tachadeiras" (plates with an elevated center structure for cutting food), "cimbreiras" (airtight containers similar to modern tupperware), and others stood out. As for the denomination, "cunquiero" comes from the proximity to Galicia, where they were known for their work with "cuncos" or wooden bowls. However, in the early days, they preferred to call themselves "tixileiros" because they felt that the term "cunqueiro" referred only to the bowls, which they considered a reductive description. Today, the term "cunqueiro" is more common and widely accepted.\r\n\r\nBeyond the production process, the cunqueira tradition was characterized by intense commercial transhumance. During the winters, from October to April, when agriculture was less productive and to reduce the number of mouths to feed, the men of the valley formed groups of about seven people, usually family members, who would travel to other towns to sell and produce their pieces. These groups started in Bierzo due to its proximity and then spread throughout the peninsula, dividing their routes towards the Ruta de la Plata, Madrid, Galicia, Catalonia, and even Andalusia. In addition to this mobility, the cunqueiros had their own guild language, which reinforced their cultural identity. However, with the arrival of mining and the industrialization of earthenware and porcelain production, this craft began to decline, disappearing by the mid-20th century. Despite this, in the 1980s, Victorino Garc\u00eda, a neighbor from Trabau" Intangable Heritage 42.959326 -6.644387
