The village of Barruecopardo gets its name from the amazing orography of Las Arribes del Duero and their amazing granite outcropping. The subsoil is rich in minerals, especially in wolfram, which was mined in this place for almost the entire 20th century.
The Oil Museum, called “Lagar del Mundo” (The Olive Press of the World), is located in an old olive mill whose restoration earned it the Europa Nostra Medal. The history of the olive tree and oil is explained there by means of different resources.
