Special event at S’Abba Frisca Park Museum — 5 October 2025
Please note: to attend the event, visitors must enter the S’Abba Frisca Park Museum on 5 October 2025 between 11:00 and 12:00. Visitors entering during that time will be able to attend two live demonstrations: the baking of pane carasau (with tastings at the different stages) and the operation of a 19th-century noria (an animal-powered water-lifting wheel).
The baking of pane carasau
In the ancient kitchen, guests will discover the secret of the shepherds’ bread. The baking of pane carasau is a craft in three steps:
Each thin sheet of dough is baked; during the first bake it puffs up into a hollow bubble.
The puffed sheet is cut around the edges and split into two separate sheets.
Each sheet is returned to the oven to be carasà — that is, toasted until crisp.
Tastings will be offered at the various stages of preparation.
Water extraction with the noria
The noria is a 19th-century machine used to draw water from the well. During the demonstration the donkey will be harnessed and will set the mechanism in motion for a few minutes so visitors can see how it works.
Entrance fee: €19 for adults, €9 for children.
