AWE is a unique project that seeks to enhance the landscape and traditions of a beloved land. It was born out of a passion for developing unique experiences and offering exceptional service to its clients. Based in a late 18th century mansion, AWE Colonial is dedicated to rescuing the historic building and harmoniously combining locally sourced products with the work of authentic artisans. Its goal is to offer an immersive exploration of the Leonese territory. AWE Colonial is the group's first project open to the public and is currently in the process of expansion.
