Abstract
En 2011 la UNESCO incluyó la tradición de la elaboración de cal en su Registro de buenas prácticas de salvaguardia. En la actualidad en Morón de la Frontera (municipio sevillano) existen el Museo Cal de Morón, dedicado a la difusión de este patrimonio inmaterial, y una última empresa que fabrica la cal de manera artesanal: Gordillos Cal de Morón. Ante la importancia de esta tradición, en este trabajo se ha estudiado el oficio de los que fabrican cal, conocidos como caleros, a través de una encuesta a sus protagonistas.
Se concluye que el oficio cuenta con pocos trabajadores en general y pocos jóvenes en particular, lo que dificulta su supervivencia. A pesar de ello, la mayoría de los caleros piensa que la tradición sobrevivirá, y es muy posible que así suceda dado el gran esfuerzo tanto del Museo Cal de Morón como de la empresa Gordillos Cal de Morón.
In 2011 UNESCO included the tradition of making lime in its Register of good safeguarding practices. Currently in Morón de la Frontera (a town in Sevilla Province) there is the Museum Cal de Morón, focusing on the difusion of this intangible heritage, and the last company making lime in the traditional way: Gordillos Cal de Morón. Because of the importance os this traditional way of lime making, we studied the work of those who make lime, known as caleros, by asking them to complete a survey. It concluded that the trade has few workers in general and few young people in particular, which hinders the survival of this traditional work. Although, most of the caleros think that the tradition will survive, and it is very possible that it will because of the great efort of both the Museum Cal de Morón and the Gordillos Cal de Morón Company.
