İş Tanımı
It is an ethnographic work camp that will put volunteers in contact with the Ribeira Sacra ourensá, based on the knowledge of the history of Esgos in particular and Galicia in general. An important aspect in this camp will be the photographic compilation of the past of Esgos, tales and legends still alive told by our grandmothers and grandfathers. This audiovisual material will be assembled in podcast format and will be exhibited on a virtual platform.

- Posting in value of ethnographic and heritage spaces through the cataloging of lavairos, fountains, petos de ánimas, cruceiros,...
- Interviews with older people from Esgos to live their life experiences and capture them in a podcast.

Konum ve Serbest Zaman
The activity will take place in the surroundings of the Vilar de Ordelles Hostel, a village in Vilar that belongs to the municipality of Esgos, in the province of Ourense (Galicia).
Esgos is a small municipality that sits in a valley near the last foothills of the Massif Central. It is an area with many rivers and streams that move the stones of the mills. The landscape is of enormous beauty, highlighting the granite outcrops and the thick trees, which create fantastic scenes set with old oaks and chestnut trees. To this we can add its good location since it is in the bowels of the Ribeira Sacra, which means that the area can be offered as a great alternative to discover and enjoy nature in freedom in a quiet, rural and beautiful environment, ideal for rest and disconnection from the daily routine.
