THE CULTURE OF THE PEOPLES OF LEÓN

Under the title of 'Tutoriales de cultura traditional leonesa', the Leonés de Cultura Institute (ILC) of the Provincial Council has developed a series of audiovisuals whose objective is to show, in an easy and accessible way, different aspects of the autochthonous heritage of this land , mainly those that involve a playful and social element such as sports and games.

Made from the Museum of the Leonese Peoples, a center that depends on the ILC and that brings together and exhibits the material and immaterial culture of the old kingdom, the first of these tutorials teaches the main tricks of the Leonese fight in a very visual way, so that Anyone, regardless of age or knowledge, can know what movements are necessary to make the opponent fall through a blockade, a squiggle or a cadrilada.
