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).

- Vegadeo
- Sculpture
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.
