What is Amagüestu?
                     From ancient times, after
                     harvesting the chestnuts,
                        apples and corncob,
                      people all over Asturias
                        celebrate an autumn
                      party, called Amagüestu
                            o “Magüestu”.
                     Asturias produces a lot of
                          this healthy food.
                       In Spanish, Autumn is
                                Otoño.
                       In Asturian language,
                               Seronda.

The Maguëstu is the essential Asturian
                          autumn pagan origin festival.
                      In Asturias, the time to collect chestnuts
                      match with the apple mash to make the
                      cider. This is why the cider cannot fail in
                     the amagüestos. This cider is the first juice
                            from the mash apple, without
                       fermentation and it has no alcohol. The
                     amagüestos are fests where the chestnuts
                       are roasted. We put the chestnut in the
                     drum on the fire and stir it. With this fest,
                          we remind earlier times when the
                           chestnuts were one of the most
                        important food in our kitchens, before
                              the corn and potato arrival.

When do we celebrate it?
                                 Always in Autumn
                               (November is the best
                                   month for it)
                               Usually when its time to
                              remove the leaves in the
                                      corncobs
                                 Frequently when the
                              chestnut sellers are ready
                              to bake the chestnuts and
                                 appear in our streets

Where do we celebrate it?
                      Now, we celebrate it in
                     our schools and festivals
                      in different villages all
                           over Asturias.
                     But, in ancient times, it
                     was celebrated in all the
                       small villages when
                      summer was over and
                       the harvest was on.
                     Its origin could be Celtic.

How do we prepare it?
                          In our classes: English
                        language, Arts and crafts,
                     Asturian language… we prepare
                           la montera picona, (a
                       tradicional hat from ancient
                       times) and a pin with some
                      typical object of our culture.
                      We prepared several displays,
                       as well: about apples, jet (a
                             lignite), pottery…
                         And a party with dances,
                        games, workshops, baked
                        chestnuts and sweet cider.

Our cultural week
                       Every year in our school we
                        choose an aspect of our
                     traditions and develop it with
                      pupils. Last year Mr. Valentín
                     Monte, a teacher (he is retired
                     now) collaborated with us and
                       we have an exhibition and
                           speeches about jet.
                         Jet is a product of high
                       pressure decomposition of
                      wood from millions of years
                      ago, commonly the wood of
                            trees of the family
                       Araucariaceae. Jet is easily
                         polished and is used in
                       manufacturing jewellery

Our cultural week II
                        This Autumn Mr Valentín
                     Monte collaborated again with
                      C.P. Río Piles (his school) and
                      we worked about the pottery
                     in Somió (our neighbourhood).
                          It has a very important
                     relationship with “Amagüestu”,
                     because of most of the pottery
                       was made in order to use in
                     “espichas”, the festivals people
                            did in Autumn, after
                        harvesting the chestnuts,
                      apples and corncob, when the
                           cider could be drunk

Apples and sweet cider
                               Every odd year one of the
                              aspects we work at school is
                             the apple, one of the symbols
                             of our region. We make apple
                               juice (sweet cider) and we
                              study all about the process.

Time for the chestnut
                               And every even year one of
                               the aspects we work in our
                            classes is the chestnut, that we
                                  bake and eat at school.
                            It is a very good season to visit
                             the forest and study our trees.
                                   Most of them are our
                              classmates in the schoolyard

Our traditional clothes
                       It is very usual that these
                       days, when we celebrate
                     Amagüestu, some children
                        come to school with the
                     traditional costumes of our
                                    land.
                     This year 2012 we have an
                        activity about this item.
                     Iñaki, our teacher of music,
                      showed all the pupils how
                         to dress up with these
                                  clothes.

It’s time for the bagpipe
                       And it’s time for the party. Usually we choose a Friday to
                     finish our Amagüestu: We dance with the music of our well
                                            known bagpipe.

                      or opening speech
                     (some pupils read a
                      proclamation using
                          the Asturian
                     language) we dance
                      and sing traditional
                        music, we play
                      ancient games and

Amagüestu arce 2012 cp rio piles

  • 1. “Amagüestu” in the Principality of Asturias fl o d A" y or P
  • 2. What is Amagüestu? From ancient times, after harvesting the chestnuts, apples and corncob, people all over Asturias celebrate an autumn party, called Amagüestu o “Magüestu”. Asturias produces a lot of this healthy food. In Spanish, Autumn is Otoño. In Asturian language, Seronda. fl o d A" y or P
  • 3. The Maguëstu is the essential Asturian autumn pagan origin festival. In Asturias, the time to collect chestnuts match with the apple mash to make the cider. This is why the cider cannot fail in the amagüestos. This cider is the first juice from the mash apple, without fermentation and it has no alcohol. The amagüestos are fests where the chestnuts are roasted. We put the chestnut in the drum on the fire and stir it. With this fest, we remind earlier times when the chestnuts were one of the most important food in our kitchens, before the corn and potato arrival. fl o d A" y or P
  • 4. When do we celebrate it? Always in Autumn (November is the best month for it) Usually when its time to remove the leaves in the corncobs Frequently when the chestnut sellers are ready to bake the chestnuts and appear in our streets fl o d A" y or P
  • 5. Where do we celebrate it? Now, we celebrate it in our schools and festivals in different villages all over Asturias. But, in ancient times, it was celebrated in all the small villages when summer was over and the harvest was on. Its origin could be Celtic. fl o d A" y or P
  • 6. How do we prepare it? In our classes: English language, Arts and crafts, Asturian language… we prepare la montera picona, (a tradicional hat from ancient times) and a pin with some typical object of our culture. We prepared several displays, as well: about apples, jet (a lignite), pottery… And a party with dances, games, workshops, baked chestnuts and sweet cider. fl o d A" y or P
  • 7. Our cultural week Every year in our school we choose an aspect of our traditions and develop it with pupils. Last year Mr. Valentín Monte, a teacher (he is retired now) collaborated with us and we have an exhibition and speeches about jet. Jet is a product of high pressure decomposition of wood from millions of years ago, commonly the wood of trees of the family Araucariaceae. Jet is easily polished and is used in manufacturing jewellery fl o d A" y or P
  • 8. Our cultural week II This Autumn Mr Valentín Monte collaborated again with C.P. Río Piles (his school) and we worked about the pottery in Somió (our neighbourhood). It has a very important relationship with “Amagüestu”, because of most of the pottery was made in order to use in “espichas”, the festivals people did in Autumn, after harvesting the chestnuts, apples and corncob, when the cider could be drunk fl o d A" y or P
  • 9. Apples and sweet cider Every odd year one of the aspects we work at school is the apple, one of the symbols of our region. We make apple juice (sweet cider) and we study all about the process. fl o d A" y or P
  • 10. Time for the chestnut And every even year one of the aspects we work in our classes is the chestnut, that we bake and eat at school. It is a very good season to visit the forest and study our trees. Most of them are our classmates in the schoolyard fl o d A" y or P
  • 11. Our traditional clothes It is very usual that these days, when we celebrate Amagüestu, some children come to school with the traditional costumes of our land. This year 2012 we have an activity about this item. Iñaki, our teacher of music, showed all the pupils how to dress up with these clothes. fl o d A" y or P
  • 12. It’s time for the bagpipe And it’s time for the party. Usually we choose a Friday to finish our Amagüestu: We dance with the music of our well known bagpipe. fl o d A" y or P
  • 13. It’s time for the bagpipe II fl o d A" y or P
  • 14. Let’s start the festival. It’s time for dancing After the “pregón” or opening speech (some pupils read a proclamation using the Asturian language) we dance and sing traditional music, we play ancient games and … finally it’s time to eat the baked chestnuts and drink the sweet cider with friends. Let’s watch the pictures fl o d A" y or P
  • 15. Let’s dance: Danza prima A traditional dance. Watch it in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=fRnNhY1qGFg The Danza Prima is performed throughout the length and breadth of Asturias. In terms of the melody accompanying the dance there are numerous versions to be heard. It is a collective, circular and choral dance. fl o d A" y or P
  • 16. LYRICS: Danza prima II ¡AY!, UN GALÁN DE ESTA VILLA. ¡Ay!, diga a la blanca niña, ¡Ay! un galán de esta villa, ¡ay!, diga a la niña blanca, ¡ay!, un galán de esta casa, ¡ay!, que su amigo la espera, ¡ay!, de lejos que venía, ¡ay!, que su amigo la aguarda ¡ay!, de lejos que llegaba. al pie de una fuente fría, ¡Ay!, diga lo que él quería. al pie de una fuente clara, ¡Ay!, diga lo que él buscaba. que por el oro corría, ¡Ay!, busco a la blanca niña, que por el oro manaba, ¡ay!, busco a la niña blanca, a orillas del mar que suena, que tiene voz delgadina, a orillas del mar que brama. que tiene la voz de plata; Ya viene la blanca niña, cabello de oro tejía, ya viene la niña blanca, cabello de oro trenzaba. al pie de la fuente fría Otra no hay en esta villa, que por el oro manaba; otra no hay en esta casa, la tan fresca mañanica, si no era una mi prima, mañanica la tan clara; si no una prima hermana; ¡ay! venga la luz del día, ¡ay!, de marido pedida, ¡ay!, de marido velada. ¡ay! venga la luz del alba. fl o d A" y or P
  • 17. At the end of October and beginning of November, we start feeling the chestnuts’ air, a strong and warm wind that pull the chestnut hedgehog down. It is time to go to the gueta to make amagüestos. fl o d A" y or P
  • 18. Let’s start the games fl o d A" y or P
