Sometimes you find ethnological treasures in the least expected places, that is what happens with the Rural Museum located in the Masia Pou, outside the village of Palau-Sator (El Baix Empordà), where you can contemplate a magnificent collection of tools used by the ancient artisans of the area, as well as a representation of life at home.
The blacksmith, the coppersmith, the carpenter, the cooper, the saddler, the woodcutter, the farmer, the shoemaker, the shepherd, etc. All these trades are represented and fondly remembered in this perfectly organized and well-kept museum, which shows us what work related to the land was like a century ago.
There is also a good representation of domestic chores in a rural house, cooking, washing clothes, ironing, etc.
The downside is that it is only open at certain hours, Fridays from 8 PM to 11 PM, Saturdays from 12 PM to 11 PM, and Sundays from 12 PM to 6 PM, the same hours as the Museum Bar, as it is this staff that takes care of the museum.
After visiting it, it is highly recommended to eat or dine at the mentioned Museum Bar, which is also decorated with all kinds of collectible pieces. Here you can find local tapas and dishes, with a modern touch and a good quality-price ratio.

Positive experience:
Located in Palau Sator, it is a very curious place. Congratulations to the owners. We were able to visit it for free. It brings together pieces from the rural world of all kinds, machinery, and agricultural tools. The effort must be significant to maintain and organize it. Congratulations. If you pass by the place, you will like it as it will allow you to evoke times not so distant for those of us who have gray hair.
