Nature
The Texu de Bermiego is of particular interest; since 1995, it has been recognised as a natural monument of the Principality of Asturias. The Tejo de Bermiego, considered to be a thousand-year-old yew, also stands in Bermiego. The Desfiladero de Las Xanas gorge is a natural monument whose route begins in Pedroveya.
Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park has been a biosphere reserve since 2012.
Water
The active tourism area in Valdemurio has a landing stage. Visitors can rent canoes there for trips on the Valdemurio reservoir.
Paths and Landscape
A branch of the Senda del Oso ends next to the restored El Cribu coal loading facility. The starting point of the route to Puerto de Agüeria is in the village of Ḷḷindes; there is a car park and signs marking the start of the route. This route is linked to the traditional practice of driving livestock to the high mountain pastures every summer.
The Molinos del Corroriu route leads to three restored old mills. They are connected with the agricultural tradition and the milling of escanda wheat.
The Ruta de las Reliquias is a medieval historic itinerary that crosses Quirós between the Aramo and Sobia mountain ranges. Covering 40 kilometres, the route passes through Quirós, Teverga, Morcín and Oviedo. On foot, the almost 40-kilometre route takes around 16 hours and ends at the Ermita de San Antonio in Pedroveya.
Culture
Cochao Castro is known for its panoramic views and is best reached from Villamarcel via a well-preserved path. The church of Santa María in Bermiego dates from the period between the 9th and 15th centuries. The Museo Etnográfico de Quirós presents the traditional customs of the people of Quirós; the museum also includes a reconstruction of a two-storey house.
The Alto La Cobertoria is home to Neolithic burial mounds and dolmens. The Ermita de Alba offers views over a large part of Quirós. La Santa Moza in Toriezo features interesting wall paintings. Castillo de Alba is located near Arroxo.
