The main objective of this ethnographically interesting route
that runs through the district of l'Alt Urgell (Spain)
is to make visitors
aware of the different ways of life, customs and types of
socioeconomic activity that have had an important influence
on this region in previous times. The route has been organised
around a series of interesting sites and thematic museums.
One of these is the Museu de la Vinya i el Vi (Vine and Wine
Museum) in Pont de Bar, which makes visitors aware of the
region’s thousand year wine making tradition. The Museu de la
Llana (Wool Museum) at Arsèguel shows how a fulling mill used
to work in the 17th century. In Calbinyà, the Museu del Pagès,
introduces visitors to the traditional lifestyle of a smallholder with
a house in the mountains. At Coll de Nargó, it is possible to visit the
Museu dels Raiers (river rafters) and to learn about this traditional
occupation. At the old La Trobada flour mill, in Montferrer, visitors
can learn about the process for making flour.
