In Antioquia, the ‘mazamorreros’ were iconic figures whose work was closely linked to the region’s mining tradition. These workers, known for their skill and knowledge of mining, played a vital role in preparing ‘mazamorra’, a traditional maize dish that formed an essential part of their diet, particularly to regain their strength after long and gruelling days’ work on the rivers of Antioquia.
El maíz era, y sigue siendo, un alimento fundamental para quienes trabajaban la minería con herramientas simples pero eficaces como el azadón, el barretón y la batea, necesarias para las faenas mineras.
