A while ago I wrote about Regional Migration and more specifically, about a migration made by a farming family from León. We still have one stage left to reach the end of this migration: Lago de Omaña – Albelgas de Luna, the most physically demanding.
Below are links to previous articles on this route provided here as a reference.
Just a note before we begin this next adventure: there is a map and a file of the route which you can download at the end of the article. Please remember that this information is merely representative so if you decide to do this route, we strongly recommend you equip yourselves with a map and compass or GPS.

For those of you who enjoy fairs and festivities, you might like to visit the The Seville Fair which ends on the 25th of April.
The fair is inaugurated with the alumbrao (lighting) ceremony. The mayor of the city presses a button that gradually switches on a series of bulbs. This year, 370,000 bulbs were lit.
The Seville Fair is one of the best Spanish fairs; it has a long history and is of high cultural interest. Leer más »

TRADICIONES “LA TRASHUMANCIA”
Nov 11, 2009 Activities, Culture, History, Nature, Leisure, Landscapes, Villages, Routes, Hiking, Traditions, Tourism
Esta actividad se remonta a finales del paleolítico, época en la que comienza el deshielo como consecuencia de los cambios climáticos y subidas de las temperaturas, provocando migraciones de animales y arrastrando del mismo modo a los clanes cazadores. Cuando estos se hicieron ganaderos, pasaron a usar aquellas rutas migratorias como vías para la búsqueda de pasto para sus ganados.
En la actualidad, la trashumancia está desapareciendo y con ello todo lo que la rodea.
Desde Turismo Natural les proponemos que realicen estas rutas pecuarias y si tienen la oportunidad de participar en una trashumancia… háganlo y disfruten de esta vivencia única, merece la pena.
