Cultural landscapes emerge as a result of the anthropization of the territory through artisanal production processes. Recognizing artisanal cultural landscapes allows us to approach ways of conceiving heritage in a holistic, interconnected way, considering craftsmanship as a privileged expression of the ways in which human beings relate to the territory they inhabit.

As a result of an archaeological excavation, a process of recovering shapes and decorations from the old pottery of Lliñeru (Villaviciosa) began in the pottery workshop integrated into the Ca l'Asturcón Ecomuseum. This was an initiative of a potter originally from the Faro area (Oviedo) who was seduced in the 18th century by the landscape of the Villaviciosa Estuary, which would inspire his artisan production for several generations.

We will explore the process of producing wool from the fleeces of our own flock of Xalda sheep, the native breed whose presence in the area just a century ago contributed to the management of our landscape and the cultural and ethnographic wealth of local family economies.

Asturian Jurassic jet comes from trees that populated the area more than 60 million years ago. The most important deposits are located in our coastal plain known as Les Mariñes, between Gijón and Villaviciosa, dating from the Late Jurassic. Used since prehistoric times as an amulet due to its magical properties, jet is closely linked to the Camino de Santiago.

We'll conclude this 4-day/3-night experience by hosting you in our village house with a microtheater performance in the granary. The experience will showcase the granary, a fundamental element of identity in Asturian rural culture, using theater as an emotional language.
