Visiting a forge turned into a museum

Today we take a walk through this museum, which wants to remind us of old trades already almost lost in these modern times.

These artisans almost at their point of extinction.
They are a center of curiosity and museums in our time.
But formerly, they performed the most important jobs in all villages and cities.
Nothing worked if they didn't do their job.
Hurting cattle. Building gates
Making swords and utensils
You had to be a teacher for such feats.
It was not a quiet job.
Quite the opposite.
Hard and hot and very strong.

We start in the neighborhood (El Pobal) Carretera de Muskiz a Sopuerta.
We begin by seeing the environment between green meadows and a singing river.
In the middle of nature we find this treasure.

We started with water, a very important thing for this job and here you can see how the axes moved to feed the forge, the passage of time is also appreciated.

In the forges the metal was heated with coal.
He had to be at his optimum to work the metal.



They are dark and hot places.
The light hurts to see the color of the metal, something very important.
Since the color knows when to work the metal correctly.

The fire is fueled with large bellows.
They give air to the coals of coal.
These are spectacular and beautiful.
They have been airing the forge for many years.

We can see the blacksmith working.
Dominating the fire with its flying sparks.
Leaving pieces of his being while working.
Creating something unique, beautiful and powerful.

A job that fills with pride.
A forgotten job.
Thanks to this museum we can see all the utensils used.
