Crowdfunding Campaign to Preserve the Tradition of the Navatas of the Gállego River

“Help us preserve an Intangible Heritage of Humanity declared by UNESCO.” This is the call made by the Biscarrués-Mallos de Riglos Coordinator in the crowdfunding campaign launched to raise enough money to renew the wood of the navatas that will ply the waters of the Gállego River on April 21st.

In this sense, they explain that the ancient navateros let the logs dry for a year and then lowered them down the river so that the wood was in perfect condition for navigation and its subsequent use in the construction of houses, palaces, ships, cathedrals… ” We extend its use for several years but as is evident, from time to time we have to renew it. This is what happens to us this year ,” they pointed out.

Therefore, they invite people to contribute to their crowdfunding campaign to achieve the 3,000 euros they need

“Your support is crucial to cover the costs of the materials necessary in the manufacture of Aragonese navatas, a unique tradition that requires both effort and passion,” they highlighted.

Depending on the amount of the contribution to the crowdfunding campaign, the donor will receive a thank you gift : a commemorative badge with the Nabatas d’a Galliguera logo for 10 euros ; a bottle of Nabateros DO Somontano Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo wine for 15 euros (they will be collected on the day of the navatas descent); a commemorative t-shirt of the recognition as Intangible Heritage of Humanity declared by UNESCO for 20 euros ; and a copy of the book ‘La Campana de Erés’ , written by Inés Arias and illustrated by Rosa Mai for 25 euros. They also offer the possibility of making contributions greater than the established economic options.

Meanwhile, preparations continue for the descents that will be held this year in Gállego, Cinca and Aragón-Subordán. Last weekend, navateros and navateras from these three areas met in Laspuña to twist 1,300 twill berduos with which the wooden boats will be tied.
