Accessibility

GENERAL INFORMATION

Part of the museum is composed of historic buildings, which have been restored so that we can experience what life was like in the region around 1900. To ensure veracity of this experience, some of the buildings are not fully accessible, although they can be seen from the outside. During your visit, our staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the museum, its services and collections.

Accessible parking

You can leave your vehicle in the car park located at the entrance of Porrúa. It has a capacity of approximately 100 spaces, and it is suitable for coaches. It is 300 metres from the museum and can be accessed on foot along paved pavements.

Accessible toilets and washrooms

The Reception-Shop and the Llacín Cultural Centre are accessible by a flat path of stone slabs and coloured asphalt. The second building has accessible and adapted toilets. Those available in the historic buildings do not meet these requirements. None of the toilets in the museum have baby changing facilities.

Other roads and spaces

The stretch leading to the historic buildings is paved with flagstones. In the interior of this complex, circulation is on a cobblestone pavement.

The historic buildings have various types of flooring, such as wooden planks, terracotta tiles and trodden earth with rocky outcrops.

To reach some parts of the museum there is no road, but well-kept meadows. Some of these areas can get muddy when it rains.

Other services

We have an outdoor area, a sports court and a children’s playground with a zip line.

Guide plane

The Ethnographic Museum of Eastern Asturias explores the representative ways of life of this Asturian region.

In our facilities you can visit the historic building of the Casas de Llacín. It is a typical peasant house, with its granary, barn and cider press, which recalls in detail the years of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Sordo Pandal family lived here at that time.
They practiced temporary migration to America, like many others in the area. In their travels, they all returned with new ideas, customs and objects that transformed their entire villages. For example, the avocado in our park was born from a seed brought from Mexico and planted in 1906.

The museum also has thematic rooms on clothing, household goods, crafts and trades that show what rural life was like in the east of Asturias until recently.
