Memoria Viva Identity Centre
Salorino transforms its town centre into a map of experiences. If you can, do pop along to the recently opened Tajo Internacional visitor centre too. Cinnamon sticks.

If you’re looking for a museum with glass display cases and beeping alarms, this isn’t the one. It’s informative monoliths right in the street, specifically at the Plaza de la Bola and in the Alcántara cord (next to the chapel of Santa Ana) in Salorino.

Here, the streets tell you about transhumance, gastronomy, traditional architecture, smugglers, traditional crafts, and local traditions and festivals. What gives these open-air museum stations that special «something» are their voices. Yes, quite literally. Each panel features excerpts from real interviews with local residents; they are the «pros» who recount everything from the epic tale of transhumance and stone huts to the adventures of the smugglers on the Raya. Living history, plain and simple.
