Galindo y Perahuy – Church, Farmhouse and Landscape

The parish church of Santo Tomás Apóstol in Galindo y Perahuy was built in 1835. The municipality of Galindo y Perahuy contains remains of dolmens, which are considered evidence of settlement since prehistoric times. When planning your visit, you can distinguish between the 19th-century structure and the traces of prehistoric settlement.

Culture and History

A particularly vivid window into rural life is the traditional farmhouse “Casa de labranza tradicional”. Its associated corrals and livestock shelters house an ethnographic collection. The collection includes agricultural equipment and livestock-farming implements; the areas represented include a forge, feeding troughs and a bread oven. In addition to the house’s permanent exhibition, an annual demonstration of mowing and threshing is also planned. Historical traces, work equipment and the areas represented form different cultural themes of the town.

Anyone wishing to combine different aspects of Galindo y Perahuy will find clearly identifiable points of connection: the parish church and the dolmen remains represent widely separated periods, while Casa de labranza tradicional focuses attention on agricultural work and livestock farming. The landscape complements this cultural focus through the contrast between Armuña Chica in the west and the livestock-farming character of the east. This allows sights, landscape impressions and the municipality’s sports facilities to be considered side by side as different themes when planning a trip.

Landscape

The landscape of Galindo y Perahuy includes fertile land. The western part is agricultural in character and belongs to Armuña Chica, while the east is characterised by livestock farming. The La Rivera stream is one of the two streams with irregular water flow that cross Galindo y Perahuy. When planning your trip, you can consider the two landscape characteristics separately without combining them into a single picture.
