CART TYPES (Published in the festival programmes of May 2003)
BARANA CART It was one of the first types of carts that a household would obtain. It could be used for anything, a means of transporting people as well as all types of loads. This cart was also used for travelling long distances.
PARTS OF THE BARANA CART
MOLLS CART Whenever possible a household would obtain a molls cart after having a barana. Just like the calaix cart, the molls cart was used basically as a way of transporting people.
CALAIX CART
The calaix cart and the barana are the most popular. This cart was used for transporting manure, stones and all types of heavy loads.
FOUNTAINS AND WELLS IN SANT CARLES
(Published in the Sant Carles festival programmes, 2003)

BONANY FOUNTAIN
It is one of the best kept fountains. It currently contains water of very good quality. In the past people danced there on Saint María’s day (5th August).
“D’EN XICO SALA” FOUNTAIN
This fountain is in good condition. A wooden door closes interior access. It currently contains water.
“POU DES LLEÓ”
This well is situated in a strategic place and with security. It was visited in the Punic period. Initially, the well door opened onto a coastal slope at ground level and away from the sea. Currently, the piece of land that it had has been eroded by the sea and now the lower part of the well is situated two metres above sea level. There people celebrate the 8th August dance (San Ciriaco).

This well is in perfect condition. It is closed by a wooden door. In the past people held dances there, the first Sunday after 15th August to be precise (St. Mary’s Assumption Day).
MORNA FOUNTAIN
Inside this fountain, on a lateral wall, there is a decorative sea horn. In front there are two fonts made of stone: one big and one smaller that is in better condition. In the past people held dances there on 15th August (St. Mary’s Assumption Day).
PERALTA FOUNTAIN This fountain appears cited in a chronicle of a battle between “Milicia de Santa Eulalia” and Turkish pirates on 20th September 1620. It currently has water and when it gets excessively full the water escapes through a trough. In this trough there are some large stones that in the past were used by women who were going to clean "el drap" (white clothes). Dances are still held there every 29th June (San Pedro).
“DE CAN PEP SOLDAT” FOUNTAIN
In this fountain, situated near to the Peralta fountain you will still find water. In the past dances were held here on 25th July (San Jaime).
