Ángel Arpón Abad explains to a girl how he used to make baskets, starting with the esparto grass and pounding it with a mallet to obtain the fibre that was then wetted to make the rope. The women were in charge of twisting the rope to make a cord that was sewn together to make the baskets, which he sold for between 70 and 90 pesetas when he started in the trade.
