In El Hoyo de Pinares (Ávila), traditions—especially festive ones—have been kept alive. However, climbing pine trees to harvest pine nuts, an ancestral craft, is on the verge of extinction. Until recently, a large part of the town made its living from this activity; today, only Jose, the heir to a long family tradition, continues the practice. Óscar, the blacksmith, and a group of retired pine nut harvesters reminisce about the past, discuss the changes affecting their trades, and reflect on the uncertainty of the future.
