Culture

The Estela de Bovecio is documented in Collía as an epigraphic find and is associated with Santo Tomás de Collía in Collía, Parres. Another religious site is the Ermita de los Remedios. It is located in Collía, Santitomás, Parres, Asturias, and forms part of the religious heritage.

When mentally organizing the cultural part of your trip, you can distinguish between buildings, archaeological heritage and regional history. You can record the different names individually as you collect your impressions by theme.

Trails and Landscape

Route 4 of the Colunga Road Trail Center passes through Collía and then continues along the AS-260 towards Alto del Fitu.

The Ruta de la Verde reaches Collía after passing through Arpaes, following a path along the Valleya and Ribode. On the return journey, it runs via San Andrés and El Castañéu towards Arriondas. The Ruta de la Verde is considered an excursion with a total duration of 2 to 3 hours.

You can set the different route names, sequences of paths and time estimates side by side for your personal planning. If you prefer to organize an excursion by the sequence of places, pay attention to the waypoints mentioned; if you set the time frame first, use the stated duration as a separate planning value. Both approaches can be used independently of one another. The direction of the route remains readable as a separate piece of information.

Depending on your own planning, you can consider these details separately and compare them with the cultural and landscape-related themes of the place.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Collía, travel dates, the desired room category and cancellation conditions can be considered separately. Culture, festivals and routes represent different points of reference for your own planning; accommodation details and the place information described remain two separate levels. This allows you to keep the available information clearly side by side and prepare your choice without additional assumptions.

Festivals and Regional Cuisine

The festival in honor of Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios takes place regularly in Collía at the beginning of July; the celebration included a mass and a procession.

For 2025, Galician food from Pulpería Lucus was planned under a marquee throughout the weekend.

The regular date and the information for 2025 refer to two different time frames. You can consider these two levels separately when planning.

History

The boundary between the Cantabrians and Asturians appears to have been located in the municipality of Parres; archaeological finds, including those near Santo Tomás de Collía, confirm this historical interpretation.
