"Grapes &Raisins"

Another beautiful day and a walk in the mountains was in order.
I didn't see my "mule & man today but thought the local grape drying beds would make a good Blip. These beds are all facing south to maximise the drying effect of the sun and the base is either rock or gravel.
Traditionally, the grapes, which are high in sugar content, are dried to produce raisins.
After harvesting the grapes are spread over the area by hand, and later, every couple of days, they are turned over, again by hand, in order for them to dry evenly.
After about 2 weeks, when dried, the raisins are removed from the beds to be cut from the bunches.
Each individual raisin is cut from the bunch leaving a small part of the stem intact. This is to prevent them from rotting. It is reckoned to be the most labour intensive produce of the Axarquia.
