Porró or Porron (glass wine jar with a long tapered drinking spout)

Abrera (Baix Llobregat, Catalonia)

A sculpture that represents an enormous steel "porró" four and a half meters high, a symbol of the history of the town.

In the 1950s, Abrera was known for the "porrons", given that the hostels on the old N-II highway offered free wine to the traveler who could and would like to lift with just one hand some heavy-leaved "porrons"..

The new rebate roundabout is a symbolic memory of the agricultural past and the tradition of the "porrons" for which the town was known.
