Os Teixóis Ethnographic Site
Conjunto Etnográfico de Os Teixóis
A water-powered workshop village in the Taramundi valley, where waterwheel-driven forge hammers, mills, fulling machines and a small hydropower station can still be demonstrated in operation.
This small village has been preserved intact as an open-air folk museum. Visitors can see blacksmith hammers driven by water channels, grain mills, grindstones and fulling machines, and the guides start the equipment on the spot. Admission costs a few euros, and opening hours change with the season. There is a village restaurant. You can walk along the Route of the Water from Taramundi or drive there. The mountain road is narrow, so drive carefully.
Opening hours
Approx. 11:00–14:00 and 16:00–19:00 (seasonal changes)
