Finds from the Stone Age confirm the early settlement of the region. In the neighboring communities still bear witness cairns and several hill forts from the settlement by gallaeci and Asturians .

climate

As in large parts of Asturias, the proximity to the Gulf Stream means that the climate here is almost Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers but cold winters, and in autumn there are sometimes relatively strong storms.
