- Museum
Esquíos is a village in the council of Taramundi inhabited for centuries by families of ferreiros, the Lombardía family, who emigrated from Italy to the Basque Country and later to Asturias.
Inside the house of Esquios there is an interesting collection of utensils and tools of the daily life of any family in the region. More than a thousand pieces of different uses and in good state of preservation, including the famous “guincho” to carry the crops up the steep slopes surrounding the farmhouse, in use since the 40s.
A walk through the exhibition accompanied by a guide is enough to learn about the tools built and used by our ancestors, most of them made in the municipality of Taramundi, and essential for the subsistence in a rural area (carpentry tools, basketry, basketry, blacksmith, etc.).
Accompanying this exhibition is an interesting forge workshop where they still make the famous knives signed “M. Lombardia”.
