Reeds and Ship Rapacinos Quarter
Poem of the entrance panel (J.M. García)
This village seemed not to lose the course of rising and its history as long as the netters (and also the netters) between purses, chicotes and buoys of cork and glass continued to equalise, tomorrow and evening, the cloth with their hands of sea workers. As if they touched Harpa, they were making impossible molints, sketches and knots that would permanently tie Candás to the sea. The ship’s rapacín, a creature of the alba, a rubium like the sun, a morene like the night, which, from the shoulder to the streets of the sea, from embroidery to embroidery, awakens the sailors at the uninhabited time of the kneading: Mrs. Manueeel, who squeezed the massacre!
Les Rederes
This occupation was often held by women, although men could also do it. It consisted of repairing and retrieving fishing nets and was therefore highly appreciated.
The Ship’s Rapatinos
The boat rapacín was responsible for going home to search for the members of the campaign. Usually teenage, she had to get up the first of all, and still in her early hours she went from home, calling every member of the crew from the street to wake them up and go to sea.
He also had to perform other important ancillary tasks such as going to search for water, handling the trolley to transport the fishery or cleaning the boat after its return.
