Summary/Abstract: The source of my considerations are the ethnographic observations I made in Lanckorona, one of the most recognizable and popular localities in Małopolska. For their creation and interpretation, I chose the autoethnographic perspective as the most appropriate to my research situation - an ethnologist having personal connections with the analyzed socio-cultural reality. Lanckorona is an example of a clash of modern elements coming from the outside with traditional ones, the result of which is a different experience, feeling and evaluation of local space. This leads to tensions that appeared in the relations: autochthons – strangers – tourists. In this context, I consider my status in Lanckorona.
