The region of Las Hurdes is a region located to the north of the province of Caceres, within the Extremadura Autonomous Community. It is formed by some forty-four towns and farms distributed among six municipalities (mancomunidad).
The temperate climate and its extensive and varied vegetation allow this area to become one of the most important beekeeping powers in Europe.
Within this region are Las Mestas, a town located very close to the beautiful Las Batuecas Valley. In all these mountains that make up the beautiful landscape of Hurdano, as in other places in Extremadura geography, liban legions and legions of bees, in charge of making this honey and this pollen that give a recognized and legitimate name to the products "El Tío Picho "Well known in various parts of the world.
And it is in this town of Las Mestas that Anastasio Marcos Bravo, "El Tío Picho", who was the father of 17 children, dedicated himself to the life of hives and their products from the beginning of the last century, traversing the extensive and rugged Roads of Las Hurdes, transporting them on the backs of borriquillos; Always with the affection dedicated to this world so wonderful that they are the bees and the products that they minutiously secrete.
Thus, following this tradition, his son, Anastasio Marcos, created a family business with his wife and four children several decades ago, which markets its own apicultural products, prepared and packaged in the most traditional and original way, following the legacy of His father and that in turn promoting the region of Las Hurdes from the tourist point of view.
