Grandas de Salime

Asturias

Home of Pepe el Ferreiro's beloved ethnographic museum and the last stop before Galicia.

A short history

Grandas sits above the Salime reservoir, on the old drovers' road into Galicia. The Museo Etnográfico — built around the lifework of the local priest 'Pepe el Ferreiro' — preserves rural Asturian crafts.
