Spain westbound ~ Leon (regional) Very old blacksmith shop located in the heart of nature. It is a unique opportunity to visit one of the very few blacksmith shops in Spain that are in operation thanks to its announcement as BIC and the family wants to continue operating so that it can be shown to visitors. It takes only a minute to walk from the parking lot to the blacksmith shop. It is a relaxing and beautiful path with a certain slope. Tickets are purchased at the blacksmith shop itself. The blacksmith is the fourth generation of the family, although the origin of the blacksmith's cobalt dates back to the sixth century, when it was created to supply materials to the Compludo monastery. Ingenious machinery designed to process iron. The beautiful scenery will take you through another time and space. The old blacksmith shop is now fully functional. With a guide, they will kindly show you how it works and the engineering and technology behind it. Morning (11:30-12:30-13:30) and afternoon have a fixed visit time, see the information in the parking lot. Price 4 euros #2024 Travel Review #Spain Travel #Castile-Reon
