Tips from the Community
The Museum of Mining and Industry of Asturias (MUMI) is a true masterpiece of industrial heritage preservation. From the moment you arrive, the very architecture of the site is impressive and signals a total immersion into the region's mining epic. The collections displayed inside are of absolutely exceptional richness, retracing with remarkable precision the technical, social, and human evolution of this industry that has shaped Asturias. From imposing machinery to the daily objects of the miners, each room is overflowing with unique pieces that will captivate history and engineering enthusiasts. The visit to the reconstructed mine is the highlight of the experience and is worth the trip in itself. Descending into this lifelike replica immediately grips the senses and allows visitors to get a tangible feel for the raw reality and courage of the underground workers. The galleries are masterfully arranged, making the exploration spectacular, realistic, and profoundly moving for visitors of all ages. The only real downside of this superb establishment lies in the linguistic accessibility for non-Spanish speakers. Currently, all the rich explanations, panels, and posters in the museum are written solely in Spanish, with no leaflets, guides, or small translation booklets available for loan at the reception to help decipher the content. Similarly, the guided tour of the mine, although led by passionate staff, is conducted exclusively in Spanish, which unfortunately leaves out a part of the international audience.

Puente Dobra was a key crossing point in the Middle Ages between the Castilian plateau and Asturias across the Cantabrian Mountains, via the Arcediano Trail. Today, it is a popular meeting place for bathers seeking to cool off in the turquoise waters of the Sella River during the summer.

Although it is called Roman, its construction dates back to the High Middle Ages, probably the 13th century. There is a high probability that it was built on earlier Roman foundations. Whatever its date, the Cangas Bridge is one of the most emblematic monuments of Asturias. The river below the bridge is often quite deep, and swimmers can be seen jumping from the surrounding rocks.
