"When the sun goes in the Spanish town of Algar, people gather on chairs outside their doorsteps to catch up with friends and relatives. In the past, people would enjoy these 'alfresco chats' after a long day of working in the fields to cool off on hot evenings since they didn't have air-conditioning. These gatherings became a tradition, and many townspeople would use the same chairs for years, some of which are now more than 50 years old."
