La artesanía local depara numerosas sorpresas pues las tierras de Lleida todavía conservan un gran abanico de artesanos. Destacan las producciones en mimbre y *palos de avellano* de Val d’Alinyà y Arres, así como las alpargatas de Cervera. Uno de los productos más reconocidos es la cerámica de Verdú, especialmente los típicos cántaros negros que conservan la frescura del agua en su justo punto.
Thanks in advance.

hazel sticks
Literally; there are plenty of references to basket-weaving and other handicrafts using "hazel sticks":
"Basketry, ceremonial cap, made with plant material (bear grass, spruce or willow roots; willow or hazel sticks; woodwardia fern dyed with alder root..."

These "palos de avellano" are (thin) sticks for basket-making, not (thicker) walking sticks:

Walking pole/Walking stick
These are wooden sticks, typically made from hazelnut branches. These branches are highly appreciated for walking sticks because they grow straight. Long ones are used by farmers and herdsmen for walking in the mountains, also for herding itself, and smaller ones for use in the house, city and level terrains. On local markets you sometimes find ones that are carved by hand with all sorts of patterns. Whether they mean walking sticks of walking poles really depends on size. I think in Spanish 'bastón' is mre often used for the small ones and 'palo' for the tall ones.
