This cute village has a small population but has a unique museum with extraordinary charm. Santa Cruz de la Salceda has a population of just 140 people, making it a small, quiet part of Spain.
However, the village soon has a museum of smells, where you can enjoy over 90 different scents. From natural aromas such as truffles and cedars to aromas associated with spices, various oils, and even culinary relatedness such as stew, the museum offers a unique sensory experience. It also includes other smells like aromas and food, as well as past memories such as talcum powder.
Museums offer special contributions to society and can help people train their sense of smell – this became important after the pandemic when some people lost this ability.
On this front, it is the first and only existing museum in Spain and Europe.
Inside, odors are organized into specific categories. For example, it can be an aroma that will make you feel healed and sick. It also has danger, wine, coffee and oily aromas.
The Spanish researcher is involved in a project that involves two experts from the Spanish Society of Otolaryngology.
Dr. Toledano, Dr. Halo and Professor Abraham Tamil are all nose experts and have worked on artificial noses.
The experts are involved in the museum and contribute to the opening.
If you are planning to visit, you will need to book with the aim of going as each tour will have a trip of up to 25 people.
The village is located in Burgos and has been a great visit to Spain.
If you are traveling to the area, one must-see location is Burgos Cathedral.
A Tripadvisor visitor said: “I liked this cathedral better than Leon's cathedral.
“And it was bright and not dark. It's a cozy place with great tombs, elaborate alcoves, great artwork and a parking lot a few blocks away. This cathedral is a must-see if you'll pass through the area.”
