Mission San Antonio de Padua California Carreta Uses and Features | California Traditions

Welcome to Californio Traditions, located in the historic mission town of San Juan Bautista, California.
Join John, Joe and friends as we explore the culture of early Alta California.
Today John discusses and demonstrates the main features and uses of a carreta. John and Joe finished and installed the carreta for Mission San Antonio de Padua in October of 2021. A furniture business in San Martin, CA named Terra Amico, www.terraamico..., donated the wood for the wheels, as well as John, Joe and local San Juan'er Mr. Richard Velasco. San Benito County locals Ted and Sue donated the rawhide which binds the carreta together.

Qué maravilla. En Asturias, España, aún se conserva algúna carreta similar, sin clavos ni piezas metálicas. Saludos desde España.
