The Museum of the Baztan Valley in the 17th Century

A journey through the Spanish Pyrenees ~ Navarre Autonomous Community The museum highlights the importance of women in Basque culture, exploring themes such as mythology, herbalists, the Inquisition, and how political persecution came to an end. It’s an intriguing museum that offers insights beyond the legends of witches, providing a calm and reflective visit. The caves are also quite impressive. There are some fascinating texts, such as comments by Paracelsus or decrees by Grace. I particularly appreciated the introductory video, which invites visitors to reflect rather than solely focus on the topic of the Zugarramurdi witches. In essence, the museum is a tribute to all women who have preserved and passed down ancestral knowledge based on home remedies and environmental wisdom.
