Minaya is a village located in the heart of La Mancha, Albacete North. Until recently, most of his neighbors were linked to the cultivation of saffron. They attended spring planting and then, between September and November, they watched the village landscape was turning blue and the pungent aroma of saffron permeated every corner of their homes.

Everyone, adults and children, participated in the work of collecting and peel rose. On the mantle, the most flowering, the minayeros not cope and were forced to carry the excess to neighboring villages to get processed roses on the same day and so the final quality of the product.

Because Saffron rose is a delicate flower. Its petals open at dawn appear violet. We must seize the early hours of the day to collect them. They were then carefully removed the three stigmas internal reddish. Despite technological advances, there is still no mechanism to facilitate peeling, a process that is still done by hand. Finally the stigmas are roasted at different temperatures in a painstaking process that has been passed from generation to generation. It takes almosttwo hundred thousand flowers to get one kilo of saffron.

These flowers need at least a thousand square meters of cultivated land. No wonder that during certain times reached the same price as gold and it came to be called red gold.

From the ninth century that the Arabs introduced in the Iberian Peninsula, has been refined and refining again its manufacturing process to achieve the quality that we enjoy today. In La Mancha are written references to its cultivation since 1720. But its importance in everyday life is manifested in natives from La Mancha, as that is still in many towns, giving away a few blades of Saffron to the newlyweds to wish prosperity through this symbol.
