Audio Guide of the Open-Air Museum

As it is a collection of artworks integrated into the facades and streets of the village, the museum is **open 24 hours a day**, 365 days a year. You can follow the route at your own pace at any time.

No, the visit is **completely free**. It is a public cultural initiative to beautify the highest village in Extremadura, so there are no ticket offices or entrance fees.

I recommend setting aside between **60 and 90 minutes** to explore the village at a relaxed pace. This will allow you to find the murals on the metal-clad facades, see the sculptures, and enjoy the mountain atmosphere without rushing.

Most of the works are painted on **metal sheets** (typical in Piornal for protecting houses from moisture) and tell the story of local culture, the nature of the Jerte Valley, and the famous festival of Jarramplas. They are a visual tribute to Piornal's identity.

Spring is spectacular because of the blossoming of the **Jerte Valley**, but if you are looking for culture, the striking Jarramplas festival is held on January 19 and 20. Summer is ideal for escaping the heat, as Piornal stays very cool.

The streets are paved, but Piornal is a mountain village with some **steep slopes**. Although much of it is passable, some parts of the artistic route require effort or assistance.

Don't miss the **Jarramplas Museum** to understand the local festival and the spectacular viewpoint known as 'Valley's Balcony.' In addition, you are very close to the famous Hell's Gorge.

Wear very comfortable shoes for walking the cobbled streets and **warm clothing**, even on summer nights, since you are almost 1,200 meters above sea level. Use an audio guide to understand the context of each mural as you walk.
