An ancient craft of dry stone wall construction is experiencing a revival due to increased demand. Skilled artisans are struggling to keep up with orders and are now training new specialists. Ivan Fernandez, a seasoned builder, highlights the resurgence of this technique, which relies solely on stone without cement. The method's effectiveness in water management and its recognition by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage have contributed to its popularity. Fernandez is actively involved in teaching newcomers, emphasizing the need for a well-organized training system to ensure the craft's future. The imbalance between demand and available skilled labor poses a challenge for the industry.
