GALERA · Routes
Ethnographic Route
Begin at the museum, where objects and a recreation of a cave house help visitors discover the everyday life of earlier generations. Continue to the Church of the Annunciation and Cerro de la Virgen de la Cabeza, two places connected with the town’s historical transformations. From the viewpoint, we will see the neighborhoods of cave houses, carved into the hillsides and adapted over time to meet new needs.
The Iron Bridge will lead us to another gathering place, connected with the history of communications and the memories of local residents. Insights from Jesús María García, chronicler of Galera, accompany several of these stops. His explanations help us relate the buildings we see to historical events, occupations that have disappeared and experiences that remain part of local memory.
