The Chapels of Monsacro: the chapel of La Madalena, the Chapel of Santiago and the Tower of Peñerudes.
The municipality of Morcín is located near the towns of Oviedo and Mieres and boasts a rich artistic and cultural heritage.
Morcín keeps its secrets very well…as is demonstrated by its convulsive and fascinating history. In its powerful and beautiful Monastery have rested the Christian relics, very well guarded by its inhabitants, who today continue to be an Exemplary Town, as evidenced by the award of Exemplary Town to La Foz, by the Princess of Asturias Foundation. Its natural beauty and its history, always under the influence of the almighty Sierra del Aramo, make Morcín an ideal place for hiking, cycle tourism, industrial, cultural or gastronomic tourism…
The chapels of the Monsacro are charming and charming, the Medieval Tower in Peñerúes and its location are imposing, theAfuelga’l Pitu Cheese Festival is impressive and very tasty, a unique gastronomic event that puts Morcín on the European cheese map with such an exquisite creation, and the natural environment of the Los Alfilorios Reservoir is no less interesting. There is everything in Morcín and especially the people of Morcín, very open and hospitable people, ready at any time to attend to the demands of outsiders… and to be guardians of the most ancestral traditions.
