SpainThe article describes the underground workshop known as 'Robadones' in Menorca, where traditional fishing boats are preserved by volunteers. This site, located within an ancient quarry, serves as a cultural and historical repository maintained by the Associació Amics de la Mar since 1997. The organization focuses on preserving traditional maritime heritage, including boats, tools, and techniques. Despite challenges such as abandonment and limited resources, the group continues their work, emphasizing the importance of maintaining these traditions against modern trends favoring faster, motorized vessels. The unique microclimate of the quarry helps preserve the wooden boats, which are crafted from locally sourced pine.
