Piedras Blancas: Culture, Beaches and Trails

Culture and Trails

The “Sienda de la Poesía” features a dozen poems by Asturian authors on an equal number of panels distributed across different locations within the municipality; one designated stop is at Plaza de la Constitución in Piedrasblancas.

The Valey Centro Cultural de Castrillón has a theatre auditorium and exhibition halls accessible to all visitor groups. It offers cultural programmes featuring performing arts, music, cinema and exhibitions. The Escuela «Infanta Leonor» de Piedrasblancas is listed in the Inventory of the Cultural Heritage of Asturias.

Día de Castrillón takes place on the first Monday in July. The Fiestas de Piedras Blancas take place on the first Sunday in July. One local tradition is the pilgrimage walk from Piedras Blancas to the San Adriano chapel along the 3 km Camino del Santo.

For personal planning, the cultural information can be arranged by format, date and trail length. You can distinguish between literary panels, performing arts, music, cinema, exhibitions, museums, a palace and beaches. In terms of timing, the first Monday and the first Sunday in July are separate calendar dates; the 3 km of the Camino del Santo constitute a separate distance specification.
