Info

It was one of the great gold reserves of the Roman Empire and still preserves the traces of those gold mines. A land of forts and cradle of the Cunqueira culture of western Asturias, in Ibias you can see the black slate so characteristic of this region, the pallozas or the high mountain vineyards, features that define its indomitable personality, chiselled by effort, emigration and hard work in the anthracite mines of Tormaleo.

A land of sweet and sunny microclimate, part of its territory is a Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve, and there are many hiking routes and nature activities - such as hunting and fishing - that Ibias offers to the traveller. Especially recommended for adventurers is canoeing down the Navia or Ibias rivers, and the Ruta de los Puertos, which includes legendary names of the Asturian orography such as the Connio or the Pozo de las Mujeres Muertas (Well of the Dead Women).
