    If you walk out of town along Calle Elvira Sánchez, you will pass an inconspicuous garage.
    Here is one of the last basket makers on the island.

      ..."The basket weaver Eulogio Concepción Perdomo has his workshop hidden away in one of Haría's winding streets. If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, you can walk past the converted garage. Just a small sign - Eulogio - Taller de Cestería - refers to the last traditional basket-weaving workshop in Lanzarote, in which only palm fronds are processed.... Inside, in the shady semi-darkness, Eulogio sits on a stool and works - as he has been doing for over 50 years - with a basket.He is surrounded by baskets "Small, large, thick, thin. Baskets come in many different shapes and for all kinds of uses. The big ones, he explains, are "Cestas de cuatro almudes" that used to be used in agriculture, particularly for harvesting grapes An "almud" is an outdated unit of measurement that the Lanzaroteños used at the time.Or the smaller "Cesta Macho", in which they mainly collected fruits, such as figs. ... The special thing about the Eulogio Concepción's art of weaving is the material he uses: palm fronds, more precisely the long spar of the palm leaf, the so-called palm leaf rib. The Canary Island date palm, Phoenix canariensis, is ubiquitous on Lanzarote. In the past, almost everything from the palm tree was used, among other things, the dates were fed to the goats, liqueur was made from the juice and baskets were made from the palm fronds. ... Eulogio learned the craft of basket weaving at the age of 18 and has been working ever since. He is now 74 years old. Like all older Lanaroteños, he has experienced the changing times and the changes that tourism has brought about. "Previously, you needed baskets for everything, there were no plastic buckets, let alone plastic bags," he recalls of times long past. And yes, he passed the craft on to people who wanted to learn in many courses, but that was before tourism came to Lanzarote and everything changed."
