Langreo

Located in the heart of Asturias, Langreo has been an active participant in the historical development of Asturias. It has been an agglutinating and catalyst of trends, knowledge, social movements, etc. Langreo is a valley crossed by a key river in Asturian life, and through its entrails circulates a good part of the sap of the Asturian carboniferous. These characteristics and circumstances led UNESCO to consider it in the 1960s as the European Kilometre of culture, a culture that today is one of its most important tourist assets.

The Iron and Steel Museum or the Ecomuseum of the Samuño Valley are facilities that give a magnificent account of the scientific and technical discoveries, the research and the economic and productive structure of a territory whose development has been key not only for Asturias but also for the rest of Spain. Langreo is in its own right one of the cradles and references of what in recent decades has come to be known in Europe as industrial tourism. If we add to this the kindness and naturalness of its people, the taste for gastronomy, for sport and for all kinds of cultural events, Langreo is always a surprise and a discovery.
