The story:
These baskets have been made in the Algarve for decades, or more like centuries.
The basketwork is a typical Algarve art, more precisely, from Tavira, Castro-Marim
and Alcoutim, the Eastern Algarve. Where they are made of all sizes and used for all purposes.
Entire families made their living around this craft. Now little is used and little is sold, as plastics has replace most of the baskets. As time passes there are less people who know and carry on this craft.
Cane (cana in Portuguese) is abundant along the large water lines, cane continues to be a precious raw material and widely used by people of "Baixo Guadiana" (region in Algarve, South of Portugal)The main tool of the basket maker is his hands.
