José Franco (1920-2009) feared that the memory of the rural world he once knew as a child could be lost, and being so, he created a mix of theme park and museum where the visitors can experience a romanticized version of the Yokel Zone as it was a century ago or so.
Everything in this place is magic, from the small stores and houses to the mock-ups of the rural villages of yesterday. It's impossible not to feel like a child again when you enter the school, the tinsmith's workshop, the winery, the windmill...
