Astures, Romans, vaqueiros… Many dwellers lived in these lands and left us a remarkable legacy: prehistoric sites, vestiges of Roman gold mining, ethnographic and industrial heritage, ancient yew trees in front of medieval and modern churches, or palaces promoted by the most prosperous lineages of their time. To understand the historical development of the municipality, it is essential to visit its museums and educational centres; key facilities such as Las Ayalgas de Silviella (ethnic and industrial museum), Aula del Oro (Gold Interpretation Centre), Miranda Hydraulic Power Plant and even Casa del Lobo (Iberian Wolf Interpretation Centre, a reflection of the coexistence between this amazing wild animal and humans.

Belmonte de Miranda is located in the middle of nature, but very close to the big cities, and offers an excellent quality of life.

Located in the central-western area of Asturias and within the Camín Real de la Mesa region, the council of Belmonte de Miranda hides a great natural and cultural wealth. It borders Salas to the north, Grado to the east, Somiedo and Teverga to the south and Tineo to the west.

Our way of life, our culture and our gastronomy is the result of centuries of adaptation between man and nature, an effort of generations to make the most of the mountains, meadows and rivers. Today, Belmonte de Miranda can boast of keeping alive traditions lost in other parts of Asturias, such as spelt cultivation, gold mining and cowboy culture.

We have areas protected by the European Union through the Natura 2000 Network; areas and biodiversity that give the municipality enormous potential for ecotourism and nature tourism, which can be enjoyed on our numerous mountain routes.

The Aula del oro, the Casa del Lobo and the Museo Las Ayalgas de Silviella are the cultural facilities where you can learn about the extraction of gold in Belmonte, the coexistence between humans and wolves, or get to know the interesting ethnographic and industrial heritage.
