Image of Navalcán, not of the place itself.

The Ethnographic Museum of Navalcán, opened in 2013 and municipally owned, brings together the household goods, farming tools and traditional dress of a village that lived off livestock and transhumance, with quilting and different types of embroidery typical of the region. It highlights embroidered women's clothing, related to that of Lagartera but with solutions and colours of its own to the skirt of the Gredos. The museum also holds a series of reproductions of 1954 photographs titled Representación de una boda navalqueña (Depiction of a Navalcán Wedding), the work of the photographer Inge Morath, wife of Arthur Miller, which portray the traditional customs of the village in the mid-20th century.
