Between Ademuz and the Natural Park of Puebla de San Miguel we find the village of Mas del Olmo. It is the largest and most populated village in Ademuz with about twenty inhabitants. The legacy of Mas del Olmo is the Bread Museum, an old communal oven, and the school, located on the first floor of the social building.

The Oven Museum shows us the ways of life of the past. You can still see the colour of the smoke from that fire on the ceiling of the bakery, which was a gathering among shovels, aprons and troughs; which was wisdom.

This oven, like so many others, worked by "tanda vecino", that is to say, every day a family had to be the baker. Their tasks included gathering gorse, rosemary and juniper bushes, which served as fuel, and kneading and baking bread.

The school has the original furniture of yesteryear and the library of the time.

On the way to the village, we also visit the vernacular architecture of Val de la Sabina.
