Info

Illas is well known for the quality of its cheeses, authentic gastronomic gems that have put this territory in the centre of Asturias on the map. La Peral, one of the villages in this council, gives its name to one of its most famous cheeses, and Pico Gorfolí to another. Illas is, therefore, an area of good gastronomic products, handmade and well cared for, and also of good 'llantar' in a handful of restaurants, cider houses and eating houses that display their wisdom and know-how when it comes to preparing a good pot of cabbage, lamb, wild boar, 'pitu de caleya', tripe or sausages.

And to burn off the calories from these delicious menus, there is always the option of taking the Mills Route and the Gorfolí Peak Green Path, or to let yourself be carried away by the placidity of a swim in the first river pool in Asturias in the Sollovio area, with water from the Faxeras river... all the advantages of a river bath - including a bath in the water - in a comfortable green setting, with excellent facilities.

Population: 1,004 inhabitants.
Surface area: 25.51 km2
