It is the shrub par excellence of my land with a beautiful flower in the month of May, which has always warmed the Alistanas kitchens. Its leaves secrete a pringous substance, the labdanum, which there they call cerute. In the rainy temperate autumns and in symbiosis with a bacterium, according to researchers from the University of Valladolid, from its roots sprouts the boletus edilis, the mushroom of the rockrose, say the alistanos, a gastronomic delight. These days I have remembered Victor Jara, the Chilean singer-songwriter, murdered by Pinochet and his panda in collaboration with those above in '73. It seems that they want to start doing justice. Good hours, green sleeves! 50 years later!
