Info
Pravia was a market town and the seat of the Asturian monarchy, and today this town and council capital retains the monumental splendour and regal air of the times when Silo and Adosinda established monarchical hegemony in a land made very fertile by the silt and moisture ‘bestowed’ two of Asturias’ most powerful rivers: the Narcea and the Nalón. Pravia is therefore today a realm of salmon and market gardens, and amongst other delights, its soil provides the raw ingredients for the finest Asturian fabada.
A legacy of its courtly past is the Pre-Romanesque Church of San Juan Evangelista in Santianes, though there are many more attractions with which this municipality delights us: El Rincón de las Aves in Santianes, the mills of La Veiga in Cañedo, the Arango Valley, the route of the viewpoints from Pravia to Los Cabos, the Narcea route from Pravia to Luerces, and the Indianos route between Peñaullán and Somao…
