In the town of Villarquille (San Martín de Oscos) we find the Casa del Marco, a peasant house with its furniture, tools and implements which shows the way of life of the rural society of the region until the mid-twentieth century.
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.
