Local culture · olive groves
Faustino Castillo “Faustillo” and the olive-grove mural route.
Art integrated into Peal de Becerro: murals, olive-grove symbols, rural life and a House-Museum that turns the town into a cultural walk.
Olive groves and rural life
Figuration, agricultural symbols, everyday scenes and local memory.
Open-air museum
An easy cultural walk to combine with the centre of Peal.
DOCUMENT + TERRITORY
Two images that give the route real context.
The goal is not to add photographs for their own sake, but to strengthen the link between artist, place and visitor experience.
Author: José Luis Olivares.
