Día internacional de los museos

En 1977, el Consejo Internacional de los Museos (ICOM) decidió que, tal día como hoy, se celebraría cada año el Día Internacional de los Museos. Todas las personas podríamos disfrutar de entrada gratuita en estos magníficos espacios cada 18 de mayo. El origen de los museos reside únicamente en la curiosidad humana y en su afán por recopilar, recolectar, admirar la belleza y, por desgracia, también la ambición de poseer y coleccionar.

Ribera del Duero is an amazing land, full of centuries-old towns, monumental churches and castles. Full of infinite plains crossed by a communicating river.

Picture yourself waking up, by the trill of the birds, in an old abbey surrounded by vineyards and pine forests. Stroll breathing clean air next to the Duero river.
