Bermiego Yew

It is located in the village of Bermiego (Quirós) on the western slopes of the Aramo and is considered to be the oldest in Asturias and one of the oldest in Europe. It is popularly known as "Teixu l'Iglesia" due to its location next to the church of Santa María, and its dimensions are striking: 13m high, 6.82m in diameter and 15m in crown diameter.

Its dimensions are striking: 13m in height, 6.82m in diameter and 15m in crown diameter. Tradition has it that the relics of the Holy Ark passed very close by on their long journey from Jerusalem to Oviedo Cathedral, and it is likely that perhaps this texu or one of its predecessors was witness to this historic itinerary?

It is a perfect place to contemplate in peace and quiet the incredible landscape that the nature of the area has left us.

Be that as it may, Bermiego and its texu make up a fairytale ensemble!
