View of a valley of Sariego, full of green farms with some trees, you can see some houses of different colours, blue, white, yellow and red roofs. In the background there are several mountain ranges in shades of blue, ending with a view of the snow-capped Picos de Europa, brushing the sky which has an orangey sunset colour with some grey clouds.

Sariego

Paths and 'caleyas', a valley surrounded by gentle mountains, a range of greenery and crops, good homemade cider, the Camino de Santiago..., and all under the dominion of the Cordal de La Llomba and its tomb necropolis, and the mighty Pico Fario... This is Sariego, an Exemplary Town.
Another valley of Sariego appears in this photo, a succession of meadows of different greens with some trees with few leaves, autumn time. In the background are soft mountain ranges in dark colours, with some mist creeping into the valleys. Blue sky and whitish clouds.
Photograph of the Church of Santiago El Mayor de Sariego, of pre-Romanesque origin, rectangular floor plan with two side chapels that form a kind of transept, and a square chancel to which two sacristies are attached. White walls with exposed stone and red roofs. Located in a green meadow surrounded by a stone wall, with trees all around.
Picture of light green meadows with some low mist, the trees are green and orange. In the background the mountain ranges follow one after the other, reaching the snow-covered mountains at the end. The sky is with high white clouds and some clear blue.
Photograph of a very well preserved old flour mill, the stone walls and wooden door and the red roof with new tiles, it looks like it has been rebuilt because of its good condition. It is located in the middle of a very green wooded area with a lot of shade and some clearings between the branches that allow you to see the blue sky.

Info

A welcoming territory in which centuries of history have left their mark. Thousands of pilgrims have travelled along the mythical Camino de Santiago, enjoying the hospitality of the "sareganos" on their way to Compostela, and marvelling as they pass through these lands at the beautiful landscapes of a valley dotted with fertile oak groves, picturesque villages and small rural churches and chapels, some of them of Romanesque origin.

Sariego, the capital of which is Vega, is very keen on traditions, one of the most important of which is its "San Pedrín" festival, declared to be of tourist interest, where you can enjoy the well-known mass in Asturian in the shelter of the cave. It is no coincidence that other traditions are also very present, such as the "esfoyazas" or the "mayado de sidra casera", or that there is a route of toponymy through different towns and villages in the municipality, where explanatory panels allude to the origins of the places and the stories they contain.

Few people know that the river Nora rises in its territory, in Valvidares, one of the most important tributaries of the Nalón, or few know that salty water springs from the bowels of its lands and can be drunk at the "Fuente del Pozu Salau"... This is Sariego, one of the jewels of the Cider Shire.
