KITCHEN

The door through which we enter the house today was, in the past, the door used by the workers and the landlords. Before going on, you should know that this house was always lived in by a couple, sometimes with their children, who looked after the house and took care of the various tasks in the fields. If you look at the floor you will see that the house is divided into two parts, in this part it is made of stone and later, when we leave the workers' area behind, it will be made of wood.

In the kitchen there is still the lar, raised above the floor, where the fire was made and the cooking was done. In this place, late in the afternoon, when the day's work was finished, it was not unusual for the workers of the house to gather. The tales that were told here and the stories that his grandmother heard him tell had a great influence on the Oterian narrative. The writer said: "In winter, when the cold and the slaughtering came, many neighbours would gather in the kitchen. There was the "Tenacio", the "vellote ardilla", the "Valeiras", the "Tumbalobos". They talked about the wars when they "macheteted" the "mambises".
