Abstract
This article describes the process of restoring the roof of the Virgen de las Nieves chapel in the forest of Irati in Navarra. This involved recovering the traditional technique of roofing with wooden shingles, in this case of beech. The article describes the process of sourcing and laying the shingles along with some of the knowledge accumulated by the trade of the tablillero roofer, now endangered as a result of wooden shingles having been replaced in recent times by ceramic tiles.
