The Cebreiro Ethnographic Reserve offers visitors an insight into the traditional way of life in the rural Galician mountains. Located in the picturesque village of O Cebreiro, this open-air museum showcases authentic pallozas, which are ancient round stone houses with thatched roofs typical of the region. Visitors can explore these well-preserved structures and learn about the daily lives of the people who once inhabited them. The museum provides information on local customs, traditional crafts, and agricultural practices. While the site is relatively small, it compensates with its authenticity and scenic surroundings. Some visitors note that the information provided could be more comprehensive, and English translations are limited. However, the unique architecture and the opportunity to step back in time make it a worthwhile stop, especially for those interested in rural history and culture. The stunning views of the surrounding countryside add to the overall experience. Keep in mind that facilities are basic, reflecting the rustic nature of the site.
