This museum was created to show the great variety of hydraulic and hand-operated mills that were used throughout history and in different parts of the world to grind cereals.
Traditionally, in Santa Eulalia de Oscos, knives have been made for more than a century. Nowadays Jorge (knifemaker) and Keiko (metal craftswoman) maintain this tradition developing this ancient craft to which they add part of the Japanese ancestral wisdom.
Os Teixois is one of the most interesting ethnographic sites in Asturias, where we can find several hydraulic devices recovered and available to anyone who wishes to visit them.
The town of Vegadeo has the peculiarity of being crossed by two rivers: the Monjardín and the Suarón, which have twelve bridges that cross them (six each). Taking advantage of this circumstance, the idea was that visitors to Vegadeo could get to know the town center by crossing these bridges, and enriching the visit with a sculpture on each of them.
The house where Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez, Marquis of Sargadelos (1749-1809) was born is now an exhibition space dedicated to the life and work of this industrial and enlightened merchant, who in the late 18th century built in Sargadelos (Cervo, Lugo) one of the first cast-iron foundry and earthenware factories in Spain.
