Ethnographic Museum of Esquíos

Inside the house, located in this village in the council of Taramundi, inhabited for centuries by families of ferreiros, there is a collection of great cultural interest of utensils and tools from a farmhouse in the region. It is very interesting for its collections of antique objects in danger of extinction and for its great diversity of pieces (more than a thousand), among them, the famous guincho for raising the crops, in use since the 1940s, and the 19th century cabazo, unique for its carved runner.

A stroll through the 300 square metre exhibition, accompanied by a guide, is enough to get to know the tools built and used by our ancestors (most of them made in the municipality of Taramundi) and essential for subsistence in a rural area (carpentry tools, basket-making, basket-making, stone-working, blacksmithing, etc.).

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS
This exhibition is accompanied by an interesting forge workshop where the famous M. Lombardía knives are still being made.
