Pallars Memory

Pallars Memory

Objects that tell the story of our origins

At L’Era del Marxat Apartments, we open a space for Pallars Memory: tools and pieces from the rural life, workshops, and homes of the Pallars region. These are historical objects —wood, iron, fabrics, ceramics— that tell the story of how people worked the land, lit their hearths, and made the most of everything with ingenuity and respect for the land.

Each piece comes with a short description: what it is, where it came from, and what it was used for. The collection grows over time; each visit might bring a new surprise.

What you’ll find

  • Ploughs, scythes, and farming tools
  • Oil lamps, horseshoes, and forged nails
  • Zinc basins, sieves, and grain measurers
  • Shepherd’s blankets, basketry, and boxwood items
  • Chests, molds, and old kitchen utensils

Why we do it
We want to preserve the memory of the Pallars and share it with our guests. These are not just antiques: they are fragments of identity that give context to the landscape we walk on.

Where to find it
The exhibition is displayed in the common areas of L’Era del Marxat Apartments. If you’re interested in any piece, ask us: we’ll be happy to tell you its story.

Come and discover them
Book your stay and take a peaceful journey into the past, without leaving the Pallars.

Shepherd’s cowbells

Shepherd’s cowbells

The metallic sound that echoed through the meadows and mountains of Pallars. At l’Era del Marxant, these cowbells remind us of the life of our grandparents, when each bell guided the herd and became the soundtrack of the Pyrenees, a heartbeat of sound that still speaks to us today of a time and a way of life.

Hand warmer brazier:

the glow that filled the cold nights of Pallars. At l’Era del Marxant, this utensil reminds us how a few embers inside the metal container became more than warmth: they were comfort and companionship, a small heartbeat of fire in the heart of the Pyrenees.
