One of the most common occupations in Gáfete is paving. The profession and trade of paving streets, squares, plazas, gardens, and other public and private spaces. Aware that this is an artistic and nomadic profession, the pavers of the town of Gáfete are recognized in our region and beyond as professionals of excellence in laying pavements using various types of rock, such as granite, limestone, basalt, etc.”

This trade has been practiced by the people of Gáfete since the mid-19th century, as some of them who are older report.

Therefore, the Parish Council of Gáfete “decided to offer a plaque to the businessmen/contractors under its supervision, other workers who carry out this “noble” profession, identifying their hometown, humbly but proudly “PAVING MEN FROM THE TOWN OF GÁFETE”.”
