Discover Beloncio: Church, Culture and Paths along the La Marea River

Beloncio can be explored through specific place names, buildings and paths. The Iglesia de San Pedro de Beloncio stands on a hill above the village; below it, the local PI-2 road runs between Beloncio and Infiesto. The church’s elevated location and the section of road running below it provide a spatial orientation for two prominent points in the village.

Culture

The architectural heritage includes Casa de los Caso, or La Trapiella. The complex consists of three buildings, one of which is a chapel, and is considered a local civil heritage site of interest. The Iglesia de San Pedro de Beloncio preserves late Romanesque remains in the corbels of the southern roof overhang and in the portal on the south side. At the parish church Iglesia Parroquial de San Pedro in Beloncio, the oldest surviving elements date from the 14th century.

La Fontica is a three-part water facility in Beloncio, Piloña. An inscription in Beloncio expresses the village’s gratitude to Jesús Peruyero Peláez and Carmen Carballo de Peruyero as its benefactors. The Museo de la Sidra and the Casa del Agua museum are located in the area around Beloncio. In the wider regional area around Beloncio are the Museo de Madera y la Madreña and the Centro de Interpretación Armando Palacio Valdés. The cultural range in and around Beloncio includes an architectural complex with a chapel, church details, a water facility, an inscription and several museums.

Nature

The Senda de La Peridiella runs parallel to the La Marea River through lush riverside forests. Its firm surface is suitable for walking, running and cycling. The Senda de La Peridiella is also known as Sendero Máxicu and is an approximately eight-kilometre route designed to be walked out and back. The riverside course, the riverside forests, the firm surface and the three forms of activity mentioned above characterize the route, as does its approximate length.

The wider regional area around Beloncio also includes the Mirador del Fitu viewpoint, Pico Pienzu mountain, Peña Mea summit and Playa de la Ñora beach. These destinations represent different types of landscape: a viewpoint, a mountain, a summit and a beach do not form a single category, but each has its own focus within the region. Together with the Senda de La Peridiella, this creates a range extending from a riverside route to broader landscape destinations.

A holiday apartment in Beloncio can be assessed based on travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. These details form a separate practical framework and stand alongside the cultural sites, the Senda de La Peridiella and the regional landscape destinations without conflating their different themes.

Additional places to consider include Avilés, Tuiza de Abajo, Bodé, Vegadeo, Quejo, El Vallín, Prieres and Pruneda.
