Info
A green and fertile territory, Candamo is famous for its excellent market garden and its traditional and natural cuisine, very much in line with an ecological and sustainable philosophy. If any icon can universally represent Candamo, it is its strawberry, unique in the world for its flavour and morphology, and also unique for its festival which, usually held at the beginning of June, encourages commercial and tourist activity not only in Candamo but also in the surrounding area.
The river Nalón and its tributaries have marked its life and its orography, a rich and powerful orography, in which places of real privilege stand out, such as the Cueva de la Peña, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco for the value of its Cave Art. In Candamo you can breathe pure nature, a nature that comes to the table directly from the orchard...
Population: 2,124 inhabitants.
Area: 71.97 km2
