The Necrópolis de San Vicente de Verdera is listed under code IPCA-YA-40-028 in Asturias’s cultural heritage inventory. The Riega la Canal stream crosses Verdera and a large part of the neighbouring parish of Cuenya before flowing into the Ríu Bustiellu, a tributary of the Piloña. For travel planning, cultural history and landscape can be considered as different areas of interest.

Culture and History

According to tradition, the former San Vicente chapel stood on the upper meadows of San Vicenti, near the old royal road from San Román to Verdera, south of El Corralón. The former San Vicente chapel is credited with contributing to the Christianisation of the area of the parishes of San Andrés de Cuenya in Nava and San Román in Sariego.

El Camín Rial, also known as El Camín de Verdera, leads from the Carretera L'Enguilu via La Pumará Riba and from La Figarona and La Pumará Baxo via El Camblor up to La Portellona; it runs along the slope near Casa la Mariñana and L'Arquera. In its traditional name, the route connects several specific landscape points.
