Info
Pravia was 'villa and court' of the Asturian Monarchy, and today this town and capital of the council conserves the monumental splendour and royal air of the times when Silo and Adosinda imposed monarchic hegemony on a very fertile land thanks to the silt and humidity provided by two of the most powerful rivers in Asturias: the Narcea and the Nalón. Pravia is nowadays the kingdom of salmon and market gardens, and among other delicacies, its soil provides the raw material for the best Asturian fabada (bean stew).
A consequence of its courtly life is the Pre-Romanesque Church of San Juan Evangelista de Santianes and thePre-Romanesque Museum in the same village, although there are many more beauties that delight us in this municipality: 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 or the route of the Indianos, between Peñaullán and Somao....
