La Cardosa, 500 metres from the centre of the village of Grau/Grado, is home to two collections: the Traditional Culture collection and the Civil War collection.
The Traditional Culture collection brings together a legacy relating mainly to the central-western region of Asturias and is divided into several areas dedicated to bread (mills, treading stones), the home (kitchen, bedrooms, crockery), the agricultural and livestock area (farms, commons, tools, etc.), and traditional trades (forge, loom, basketry, carpentry, pottery, cider mill, barber's shop, school, etc.).
The Civil War site also has three areas where the history of the Civil War in Asturias and Grado, the fortification of the land, and a third one with details and stories of both sides are exhibited.
