The Pobo Galego museum can be boring for people without knowledge of European rural stuff. Nevertheless its famous stairs and the room dedicated to fishing gear can be interesting for everybody.And the museum of the Galician people in Santiago has some interesting exhibits related to printing on the lower floor.
Agree! Interesting topic. Thanks, Laurie.Just when you think the forum has run the gamut of nearly every topic and possible questions, up pops something new to read about and take an interest in. Thanks, Laurie, for starting this thread.
The first was @jungleboy and @Wendy Werneth’s trip to the hat museum in Sao Joao da Madeira on the Camino Portugués.
Interesting information from Nick and wendy here. More information about the museum here.
Tram museum (about public transport in Lisbon, housed in the old facility). Sad to say I have never been.
I’m assuming you have seen there are still several places to be visited.What would you do without us going to all these places for you?!
What a fun day out and variety to add to your camino pics.The best part was getting to take a small ride in a tram from 1901. Look at the fancy interior decorations!
I finaly have found a website that has some informations about the museumthe Burgos based Museum of Human Evolution* with many objects from the digging site in Atapuerca (it was extremly hot
are you going to tell us what this thing is? Please?Not a museum as such, but the Cabel Ingles in Almeria is an impressive piece of industrial heritage.
Further along the Camino Mozarabe, there is a museum of olive oil production in Baena (and a couple more on the Via de la Plata).
Also on the Mozarabe, a museum of Turrón (a local nougat), in Castuera.
Apparently, there's a shoe-seum in Elda near Alicante, on the Camino Sureste

The Cable Inglés? (Cargadero de mineral El Alquife). Sorry I misspelled it in my original post.are you going to tell us what this thing is? Please?
There is also a clock museum in the bell tower of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, next to the church - good views from the top too!In Besancon on the Via Francigena is the wonderful Musee du Temps - Besancon was a watch and clock making centre (there are still some small producers) and the museum looks at clocks, watches and time. I loved looking at the range of timepieces through time!
(Also worth going to see the elaborate astronominical clock within the cathedral - special ticket needed for this - and the presentation is only in French but still worth it with minimal French as there are multiple dials and moving parts)
Filly again! Please note that very near to the Hat Museum in Sao Joao da Madeira (camino Portugues) is an equally unmissable SHOE MUSEUM - both were major industries of the area.There have been two recent descriptions by forum members who have visited former industrial sites turned into museums.
The first was @jungleboy and @Wendy Werneth’s trip to the hat museum in Sao Joao da Madeira on the Camino Portugués.
Interesting information from Nick and wendy here. More information about the museum here.
Now @filly has told us all about two museums in Ponferrada — one about energy in an old electricity building (official website here) and the other about railroads (official museum info here)
I can think of three in Lisbon.
Tram museum (about public transport in Lisbon, housed in the old facility). Sad to say I have never been.
Water museum (in two sites, very interesting, and I have been here!)
Electricity museum (never been, but I see that in addition to being housed in an old power station, there is a new very modern building that has opened nearby).
Can others think of similar industrial museums along any camino?
Thank you for this. Very interesting, especially the generations of mothers/daughters/aunts/nieces, and the pride everyone seems to take in their wirk and product.The canned fish industry, particularly focused on sardines in Portugal, is having something of a resurgence in popularity. This article describes how you can tour a working factory outside Porto. I was surprised at how much of the process is still done by hand, all women workers, earning a bit more than 800€ a month.
In Portugal, Taking a Dive Into Sardines
The canned fish are having a moment in the food world. A tour of a canning factory in Porto gives an up-close view of a century-old business.www.nytimes.com
I love going to the Conservaria de Lisboa, so I’m sure there are similar stores in Porto. These cans are perfect little gifts, much better than refrigerator magnets!
I was inspired by your post, and off we went o our recent stay in Lisbon! Many thanks for doing the reconnaissance for me.Inspired by this thread, and needing a cultural activity to do for this week's 'Lisbon Friday' afternoon/evening out, we went to the tram museum for the first time today. It was great!
Don't forget, train aficionados, that there is also the Portuguese National Train Museum, which is in Entroncamento, about 45 minutes' walk west from the Portuguese caminho as its route goes through Vila Nova da Barquinha (on Lisbon-Porto stretch, en route to Tomar).I guess this would constitute Camino de Madrid:
Renfe Train Museum in Madrid, of course there is one train with an open bar car, at http://www.museodelferrocarril.org/index.asp,
