The Safe Harbor Ethnological Museum is located in the town of Salamanca, after the town hall, Emilio García Lorenzo Street No. 3. The village currently has fewer than 100 inhabitants and is located in the southern part of the Natural Park of Douro Arribes and Agueda. The village is located on high ground between the River Agueda, in this term and has prayed a deep valley, and the Rivera de Dos Casas, west of the province of Salamanca and bordering with Portugal.
Safe Harbor has a beautiful natural setting mainly due to its geographical location and partly to the isolation which is subjected to poor infrastructure and roads. Traditionally it was a village of farmers, but the neglect of agriculture and the concerns of its inhabitants to give their children run has propiaciado depopulation of the town, which is overwhelmed by the return of their sons and daughters, and relatives during Easter holidays and in summer, its population increased tenfold. Its people are warm and rare is the visitor who is not enamored of the town and back that promise ... and usually return.
Some, even though not born in the village, but the fact of having married a native of Puerto Seguro, after paying the wine to the servants, have adopted as if it were their own people, and do claim to feel more of the people that others really are.
