Beloncio’s cultural attractions include an ensemble of three buildings, the Church of San Pedro, the three-part La Fontica water feature, and an inscription. The Senda de La Peridiella offers a different focus: its length, firm surface, and the landscape along the La Marea River take center stage. These architectural landmarks and the route provide different starting points for planning your trip. You can decide whether architecture and local history or an outdoor activity route will shape your stay more.
Along the Senda de La Peridiella
The Senda de La Peridiella is also known as the Sendero Máxicu. It is about 8 kilometers long, including the outward and return journeys. This figure helps you understand the route as an out-and-back walk, rather than eight kilometers each way. The path has a firm surface and is suitable for walking, running, and cycling. Several ways of using the route are therefore mentioned, without limiting it to a single type of activity. It runs alongside the La Marea River through lush riverside forests. To get a sense of the route, consider its specific length, three possible activities, and clearly defined landscape type.
Architectural landmarks in Beloncio
Casa de los Caso, also called La Trapiella, is an ensemble of three buildings, including a chapel. As a whole, it is listed as a local civil heritage site of interest. Both names refer to the same ensemble. Its composition sets it apart from a single building: the chapel is one part of the complex, while the other buildings belong to the larger site. For travelers interested in architectural history, this example offers a look at a multi-part ensemble rather than just one building.
Iglesia de San Pedro de Beloncio
The Iglesia de San Pedro de Beloncio stands on a hill above the village; below it runs the local PI-2 road between Beloncio and Infiesto. The church’s location and the road’s course can thus be considered separately: the church is on the hill, while the road runs below it between the two named places. Late Romanesque remains survive at the church, on the corbels beneath the southern eaves and at the south portal. The oldest surviving elements of the parish church date from the 14th century. Together, these details offer a nuanced picture: the Late Romanesque remains are linked to specific architectural features, while the 14th century dates the oldest surviving elements.
La Fontica and local history
La Fontica is a three-part water feature in Beloncio, Piloña. Its form sets it apart from the buildings: it is an installation made up of three parts, rather than an ensemble or a church. An inscription in Beloncio expresses the town’s gratitude to Jesús Peruyero Peláez and Carmen Carballo de Peruyero as its benefactors. This adds a tribute to named individuals alongside the buildings. When choosing a cultural or historical focus, you can distinguish between architectural details, a water feature, and the inscription as a record of local history.
