Carrer dels Estricadors

Carrer dels Estricadors

Possibly, many have wondered why a street in the town has such a strange name... Well, it receives the name of a tool related to the world of fabrics and textiles. According to the Catalan-Valencian-Balear Dictionary, a “estricador” is a "pre-frame with pegs, where wet clothes are tightened so that when they dry they don’t tighten". Now, in Esporles it really refers to the operation of clearing and untangling the skeins of yarn after a dyeing operation. Remember that Esporles was one of the major textile producers in Mallorca, and it is not surprising that the name of a street reminds us of the activity that marked it so deeply.
