ETHNOGRAPHIC ROUTE
The Ethnographic Route is a guided route taken in summer and along its itinerary we can discover different cultural elements.
This route is done with a guide every Wednesday in July and August. The itinerary is enjoyable, and the starting point is the Town Hall square.
The route starts at 11.00 am. and ends at 14.00 p.m. The variety of the culture and landscape is its most appreciated quality.
The Discoidal Stele, the old typewriters and musical devices private collections that Mr. José Manuel Acevedo has in the village of Coaña and the Castro (hill-fort) of Coaña are the most outstanding resources, although the traditional and industrial architecture doesn’t go unnoticed to the walkers.
