Panoramic view of the valley in which Boal/Bual is located. The traditional architecture of the houses stands out, many of them with light-coloured façades. The village is surrounded by green meadows and forest-covered hills, suggesting a natural and peaceful environment. In the background, higher mountains can be seen framing the landscape.

Boal

Tumuli and dolmens, caves and forts, a mighty river and a dam, indianos' houses, beekeeping and honey fair, a world full of contrasts. This is Boal
Panoramic view from the Penouta viewpoint. A stone bench with a map of the surroundings invites you to sit and contemplate the impressive landscape. From this vantage point, you can see a green, undulating valley, dotted with small villages and surrounded by wooded mountains. The elevated view allows you to appreciate the immensity of the landscape and the beauty of Asturian nature.
Panoramic view of Serandías and the river Navia. A meander of the river meanders between wooded hills, creating an idyllic landscape. On the bank, small stone houses cling to the hillside, forming a picturesque village. The crystal clear water of the river reflects the blue sky and the surrounding lush vegetation.
View of Castro de Pendia, a prehistoric settlement located on a promontory. Several circular stone constructions can be seen, dwellings that tell us not only about the way of life of its inhabitants but also about the strategic importance of this place. The castro is surrounded by vegetation and is located in a natural setting of great beauty.
View of Froseira, a picturesque village in Asturias. An old stone bridge crosses a crystal-clear river, whose waters cascade into small waterfalls. On one side of the bridge, a stone house, with its traditional architecture, blends perfectly into the rural setting. The lush vegetation surrounding the village adds a touch of intense green to the landscape.

Info

The Navia and its basin mark its life and its orography. With its rich prehistory and unique history, Boal presents different aspects and spectacular landscapes in the four seasons of the year, such as those of the Penouta and La Bobia mountain ranges, so closely linked to the tomb and dolmen culture, which, together with hill forts such as Pendia , constitute one of the signs of identity not only of this council but of the whole Navia Historical Park. Another of its undeniable signs of identity is the world ofbeekeeping , which reaches its peak with the celebration of the honey fair, usually held at the end of October.

The Navia, dammed up at the Doiras reservoir, is also spectacular, as are the possibilities for leisure and active tourism in terms of river sports and adventures. A land of stories and legends, with places full of magic such as the Cova del Demo, or with villages such as the capital of the council, Boal/Bual, where the Indian architecture is one of its great bastions of heritage, highlighted through the Emigration Interpretation Centre in the village of San Llouguís. Land of "ferreiros" and "claveros", the Iron Craft Interpretation Centre, in Rozadas, also shows us these trades.
