Bres Craft Center

- Craft
The Bres Craft Center is located in the old Casona de Villanueva, in the center of Bres, 5 kilometers from the capital of the council. This center was conceived as a facility to facilitate the knowledge and enhancement of craft activities, both new and traditional of the region.
The Center has three distinct areas: workshop area, exhibition and sales area, and training classroom. This provides a suitable place for artisans to work and an environment where visitors can learn first-hand about the manufacturing processes of the different crafts installed there. It is also intended that this space will serve as a forum for dialogue, training and exchange of knowledge among professionals in the sector.
The Center opened its doors to the public in July 2013 and currently has a craftswoman: Inés Barcia (loom).

- Mines
There are remains in the Oscos region that tell us that mining was an activity that was developed in the area since prehistoric times. Before the conquest of the Romans, the inhabitants of this region were already looking for gold nuggets in the river placers. But it was after the arrival of the Romans that this industry was boosted. In the Flavian period, at the beginning of the first century A.D., a first golden age was experienced. The castros (fortified settlements) resurged as a result of the exploitations and the landscape was dotted with small industries of which there are still remains such as: forges, function furnaces and samples of the technology that was used for the exploitation of the deposit.
