Hi, I'm here again to leave you a new post!

Basically we see all the professions that were predominant and that could not be absent in a city! make yourself comfortable and enjoy my story and photos!😛🌏🧭

HOW TO GET TO THE VILLA🕍👨💻/COMO LLEGAR A LA VILLA🧭🌍
As I mentioned before, the town of Jose Franco is located in the beautiful city of Mafra, if you can't get the name online, you can try searching for "Aldea Saloia" is another typical name that is given to the town!

GETTING TO KNOW THE VILLA🕍👨💻/CONOCIENDO LA VILLA🧭🌍
This famous village is typical of the region of Portugal for being one of the first to be turned into a museum! Well, no people live here but it gives the impression that it is inhabited by people whose routines never stopped! we can see hundreds of real dolls that were created by the great Portuguese sculptor Jose Franco! It all began in 1920 with the birth of the great artist Jose, his parents were great workers and respected people, his mother had the job of a saleswoman (merchant) and his father was an expert shoemaker!🤓😱🤩👨👨👩👨👶💖💖💖💖💖
Esta famosa aldea es tipica de la region de Portugal por ser una de las primeras en ser convertidas en museo! bueno no viven personas aqui pero da la impresion de que esta habitada por personas cuyas rutinas nunca se detuvieron! podemos ver cientos de muñecos reales que fueron creados por el gran escultor Portugues Jose Franco! todo comienza en 1920 con el nacimiento del gran artista Jose, sus padres eran grandes trabajadores y respetadas personas, su mama tenia el oficio de vendedora (comerciante) y su papa era un experto zapatero!🤴👸🕵️♀️💂♂️👨🏫👨⚖️👩🌾👩🍳👨🏭👨🔧
When I read the story of Jose I was very moved by how hard people worked in the early 19th century, his mother to bring food to the table went from house to house selling clay sculptures that were made by her! You could not miss a fair where the Franco family was not there selling his talent! Since school, Jose Franco already worked and practiced the trade of (oreiro) bone, he created sculptures and clay objects! he was taught by two masters of the time!💥💥👨🎓👨🎓👨🏭👨🔧👩🍳👩🌾🕵️♀️🧒👦🧒👦🧒👦
Cuando leia la historia de Jose me quede muy conmovido por como trabajaban muy duro las personas en principio del siglo 19, su mama para llevar la comida a la mesa iba de casa en casa vendiendo esculturas de barros que eran realizadas por ella! no podia faltar una feria donde la familia Franco no estuviese alli vendiendo su talento! desde la escuela ya Jose Franco trabajaba y practicaba el oficio de (oreiro) osea creaba esculturas y objetos de barro! fue enseñado por dos maestros de la epoca!🕵️♀️👨🏫💥
JOSE FRANCO PORTUGUESE ARTIST / JOSE FRANCO ARTISTA PORTUGUES
In the center of the town we can see a small theater where meetings and events were held among the citizens, it was a very united and beloved village, where violence and crime were not welcome! There is an area where wine was created, let's say it was something communal, everyone could create their own wine in this space! When he left school, Jose was already beginning to show his talent with clay, creating sculptures so fantastic that there are some on display in the Vatican! It was a Portuguese who raised the flag high!😮😮😍
En el centro del pueblo podemos ver un pequeño teatro donde se realizaban reuniones y eventos entre los ciudadanos, era una aldea muy unida y querida, donde la violencia y el crimen no era bienvenido! hay una zona donde se creaba el vino, digamos que era algo comunitario cada quien podia crear en este espacio su propio vino! al dejar la escuela Jose ya comenzaba a mostrar su talento con el barro creando esculturas tan fantastica que hay unas en exhibicion en el vaticano! fue un Portugues que dejo la bandera en alto!🌷🌼🌻
When Franco turned 17 he was ready to take a huge step forward in his profession, he opened the family clay factory that belonged to his grandfather and that he had stopped working some years ago! giving free rein to the imagination of him!🧑🧑👨💻
Cuando Franco cumplio sus 17 años estaba listo para dar un paso enorme en su profesion, habilito la fabrica familiar de barro que pertenecio a su abuelo y que habia dejado de trabajar hace algunos años! dando rienda suelta a su imaginacion! 🍇🥂
Inside the walls that have a style of the castle era there is a small space that was baptized "white village" is like a kind of a replica of the town here we can see how Jose Franco built all the houses that would have a function and that they would show a typical trade of the time! I think it could be called more a "map" than anything! we have access to the walls and when we climb on them we have a beautiful 360 degree view of the place!🚩🏠🏡🌏🧭💚💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Dentro de las murallas que tienen un estilo de la era de los castillos hay un pequeño espacio al que fue bautizado "aldea blanca" es como especie de una replica del pueblo aqui podemos ver como Jose Franco construyo todas las casas que tendrian una funcion y que mostrarian un oficio tipico de la epoca! creo que podria llamarse mas un "mapa" que cualquier cosa! tenemos acceso a los muros y cuando trepamos en ellos tenemos una hermosa vista de 360grados del lugar!⛩🕍🏢
It was to be expected to find a beautiful mill, and that is still preserved inside the town, the windmills played an important role for many decades in Europe since it was a way to take advantage of the wind to crush different types of seeds! Mafra being a city that was between mountains, it was common to use the windmill to generate work and food for the local population!🌾🌾🌾🌿🌾🌾🌾🌾🌿🌿🌏🌏💨💨💨💨💯💯💯💯
Era de esperarse encontrarnos con un hermoso molino, y que aun se conserva dentro de la villa, los molinos de viento jugaron un papel importante durante muchas decadas en europa ya que era una manera de aprovechar el viento para triturar diferentes tipos de semillas! al ser mafra una ciudad que estaba entre montañas era comun el uso del molino de viento para generar trabajo y alimentos a la poblacion local!✅✅✅💯💯💯
In the 60's, Jose Franco realized his great dream immortalizing his work in this beautiful town that is an open museum and that inside there is a huge collection of ancient objects, the town shows us an ethnic touch and in it he captured all his childhood!🏘🏙🕍
En la decada de los 60 Jose Franco realizo su gran sueño inmortalizando su trabajo en esta hermosa villa que es un museo abierto y que dentro hay una enorme coleccion de objetos antiguos, la villa nos muestra un toque etnico y en ella plasmo toda su infancia!😮💥
THE DIFFERENT JOBS VILLA🕍👨💻/LOS OFICIOS🧭🌍
Our first job was the lady who was a healer, she was a person who through natural medicine could heal people, but also the healer could apply a little "spiritual" methodology, that is, through saints and religious things some ills were healed! I believe that a healer was a typical profession of any town, so much so that they still exist!🧓🧓💖💖💦💖💖💖💖🏣🏥🏥🏥
Nuestro primer oficio era la señora que era curandera, era una persona que mediante medicina natural podia curar a las personas, pero tambien la curandera podia aplicar un poco de metodologia "espiritual" osea mediante santos y cosas religiosas se sanaban algunos males! creo que un curandero era un oficio tipico de cualquier pueblo, tanto asi que aun existen!🌾🧅🥀🌷🌱🍂
The town of Jose Franco had a natural well here the water was stored when it rained, or when in some way it was brought from the mountain in a natural way and stored in the well for domestic use! A natural well was important for a town to survive, water is a resource that is important and even more so when living in a time where everyone harvested food from it!🧭🌏🗺
La villa de Jose Franco tenia un pozo natural aqui se almacenaba el agua cuando llovia, o cuando de alguna forma era traida de la montaña de forma natural y almacenada en el pozo para su uso domestico! un pozo natural era importante para que un pueblo pudiera subsistir, el agua es un recurso que es importante y mas cuando se vivia en una epoca donde cada uno cosechaba sus comidas!🧊🧺🌧🚿🛁💧🌊🌊
In this section of the town we see how a small castle but which is actually a chapel pays homage to two of the most venerated Catholic SAINTS in Portugal, the town is not only touristy there are people from Mafra who come here to make promises, so which is also a religious space full of beliefs and good energies!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
En esta seccion de la villa vemos como un pequeño castillo pero que en realidad es una capilla rinde homenaje a dos de los SANTOS catolicos mas venerados en Portugal, la villa no es solo turistica hay personas de mafra que vienen aqui para hacer promesas, por lo que tambien es un espacio religioso lleno de creencias y buenas energias!👳♂️🤴
THE BAKER🕍👨💻/EL PANADERO🧭🌍
I think it is the only house that really works, and is open to the public! It is a real bakery that is famous in the area because it sells the best chorizo breads, they are cheap and cost less than one euro! we just had lunch so I didn't feel like trying them! I believe that it is the business that is hundreds of years old and that generates a lot of employment in the rural economy!🌭🍔🌭🥯🥨🥐🍞🍞🍞
Creo que es la unica casa que funciona de verdad, y esta abierta al publico! se trata de una panaderia verdadera que es famosa en la zona porque vende los mejores panes de chorizo, son baratos cuestan menos de un euro! nosotros recien acabamos de almorzar asi que no me apetecia probarlos! creo que es el negocio que tiene cientos de años y que genera mucho empleo en la economia rural!😮😮
THE BAR🕍👨💻/EL BAR🧭🌍
The place best known by the people and that inside has a beautiful and old decoration, Jose Franco wanted to show how people came to the bar to sing, dance, and share unforgettable moments with family! Inside there is a very dear person at the time of Jose was the man who worked playing the GAITA! his music is playing all over the little village!😮😮🤔🎰🕹🕹🎲
El sitio mas conocido por el pueblo y que dentro tiene una hermosa y antigua decoracion, Jose Franco quizo mostrar como las personas venian al bar a cantar, bailar, y compartir entre familia momentos inolvidables! dentro hay un persona muy querido en la epoca de Jose era el señor que trabajaba tocando la GAITA! su musica suena por toda la pequeña villa!📯🎶🎵🎼
what did a village mean? a village was synonymous with joy, a good wine and bread served at the table all homemade, the village transmits that heat that reigned in the houses of the locals! in the center of the village is a model that has its own movement and we can see many "pieces of people" working to the beat of typical Portuguese music! a beautiful place to take some photos!🎁🎢
que significaba una aldea? una aldea era sinonimo de alegria, de un buen vino y pan servido en la mesa todo casero, la aldea nos trasmite ese calor que reinaba en las casas de los lugareños! en el centro de la villa esta una maqueta que tiene movimiento propio y podemos ver muchas "piezas de personas" trabajando al compas de la musica tipica Portuguesa! un hermoso lugar para tomar unas fotos!🎟🎫🎡🎠
THE TINKER🕍👨💻/EL HERRERO🧭🌍
This job for me was one of the most difficult at the time because it required a lot of technique, patience and physical strength. What this man does in his store is create pieces, objects or anything from metal plates is like a "blacksmith"😎😎👨👨👴👴👴👴👴
Este oficio para mi era de los mas dificiles en la epoca porque requeria mucha tecnica, paciencia y fuerza fisica, este señor lo que hace en su tienda es crear piezas, objetos o cualquier cosa a partir de placas metalicas es como un "herrero"😏😏
One of the things that I liked about the village that Franco made was that despite being a village-museum it has some parks for children, so if you have small children you can bring them and they will enjoy a great experience because there are many tunnels secrets that are there so that they can move freely in the village!🤔😮👧👦🧒👶🎠🎠🎠🎠🎡🎡🎡🎠🎠💖💖
Una de las cosas que me gustaron de la aldea que realizo Franco fue que apesar de ser una villa-museo tiene algunos parques destinados a los niños, por lo que si tienes niños pequeños puedes traerlos y ellos disfrutaran de una gran experiencia porque hay muchos tuneles secretos que estan alli para que ellos puedan movimentarse libremente en la villa!💖🛒🎡🎠🎪🎢
THE SCHOOL🕍👨💻/LA ESCUELA🧭🌍
School was undoubtedly where Jose lived his best times, I imagine this space full of children in school uniforms doing many tasks, this is where after graduating from elementary school Mr. Franco decided to make the mud business his profession!💥💥
La escuela sin duda fue donde Jose vivio sus mejores epocas, me imagino este espacio lleno de niños con uniformes escolares realizando muchas tareas, aqui es donde luego de graduarse de primaria el señor Franco decidio hacer el negocio del barro su profesion!💫💫
OTHER TRADES🕍👨💻/OTROS OFICIOS🧭🌍
In this village we live knowing that if we forget our roots then we are nothing!
En esta aldea vivimos sabiendo que si olviamos nuestras raizes entonces no somos nada!
There were other trades that were more specific and that not all people could work, such as the apothecary, the watchmaker! it required a lot of knowledge and practice! this type of business was almost always inherited from generation to generation! Fishing was something that could be learned and almost every young man from the village of Mafra dedicated himself full time!💥💥
Existian otros oficios que eran mas especificos y que no todas las personas podian trabajarlos, tal el caso del boticario, el relojero! requeria mucho conocimiento y practica! este tipo de negocios era casi siempre heredados de generacion a generacion! la pesca era algo que podia aprenderse y casi todo joven de la aldea de Mafra dedicabase a tiempo completo!🧠👀🦾🦿🦷
You could say that the village of Jose Franco is a small world that was shaped by his own hands, sadly the great artist passed away in 2009 leaving a great legacy that we can all visit and have a magical experience! the town is annually one of the most visited in Lisbon receiving thousands of people!😶😶😣😣😣😣
Se podria decir que la aldea de Jose Franco es un pequeño mundo que fue moldeado por sus propias manos, tristemente el gran artista fallecio en 2009 dejando un gran legado al que todos podemos visitar y vivir una magica experiencia! la villa anualmente es una de las mas visitadas de Lisboa recibiendo miles de personas!😥😥
the blacksmith, barber, shoemaker we can see everything here inside Jose Franco's villa it is interesting how we have at our disposal the utensils and tools that were used in those days! Mr. Jose thought about all the details, I think I dare to say that it is one of the most beautiful experiences I felt when visiting a tourist site in Portugal!🙄😮🤩🥰🥰🥰
el herrero, barbero, zapatero todo podemos verlo aqui dentro de villa de Jose Franco es interesante como tenemos a nuestra disposicion los utencilios y herramientas que eran usado en esos dias! el señor Jose penso en todos los detalles, creo que me atrevo a decir que es una de las experiencias mas bonitas que senti al visitar un sitio turistico en Portugal!😅😆
