Ethnographic Museum “El Hombre y el Campo”

The ethnographic museum of People and Land wishes to show the uses and costumes of the Pas man throughout history to reach the most productive benefit from nature. It collects tools of daily life as an homage to man, land and effort capacity.

The Museum is located next to the factory of Buen Pastor in the neighborhood of Riancho in San Vicente de Toranzo. Was opened in 1997, thanks to its funder’s passion, Carlos López D’Hers.

Now, it is managed by the Cultural Association “Valle de Toranzo”, which promotes local culture through divulgate activities. The museum has an extension of 700 square metres divided in two floors, divided into 16 themed areas. In each area, we can see tools, photographs or drawings that attempt to show the farming and popular work and traditions of the region.
