Hi,
I believe the word used for the combo which Gabe used is Gurguret. This
gurguret was found in households as a storage for cold water, which now is
hardly used due to fridges.
The speciality of mapuca Market was its Friday Market, which was than used
by villagers to sell their wares, but now taken over by outsiders and one
hardly finds place to walk. The people of old used to reserve the place the
previous day, by going there Thursday evening and paying the sopo, to the
municipality. One could smell different aromas in the market.
Cheers
