Vilanova de Ozcos/Villanueva de Oscos

A refuge of history and tradition in the heart of the Asturian countryside

Villanueva de Oscos is a small mountain village with a strong rural character, where time seems to pass at the pace of nature and traditions. Its monastery of Santa María, founded in the 12th century, is the heritage and spiritual heart of the council, and its stone and slate houses speak of a very well-preserved popular architecture. In Villanueva, ancient customs linked to the countryside and craft trades survive, which today can be discovered through workshops, museums and ethnographic routes. The natural environment, with lush forests and quiet paths, offers many possibilities for active tourism, relaxation and direct contact with the authenticity of life in the Oscos.
