National Goldpanning Championship

Navelgas is a typical village in western Asturias, specifically in the council of Tineo, well known throughout the world for being one of the European references for gold panning. The tradition of gold in the area dates back to Roman times, when this empire exploited the gold riches of the Asturian subsoil.

Many centuries have passed since then, but in Navelgas the tradition of gold is still alive, and there is a Gold Museum in the village itself.

As every year the National Goldpanning Championship will be attended by a large number of spectators, with parades, parades, bagpipes, and of course good food, and an atmosphere of great hospitality.
