Somado offers several specific points of interest for culture and culinary enthusiasts. At the Museo La Cuadrona, a private collection includes contemporary Asturian art, antiques and curious objects. El Panteón stands out for its clover-shaped floor plan and blue dome; at La Peñona, the focus is on Afuega'l Pitu and how it is made. The Fuente de Las Abedules, in its beautiful surroundings, invites you to take a walk, while salt carpets are associated with the patron saint festivals. The collection, architectural design, food production, landscape and festival tradition thus offer different themes to explore.

Art and Collections at the Museo La Cuadrona

The private collection at the Museo La Cuadrona brings together contemporary Asturian art, numerous antiques and curious objects. These contents offer different points of interest: the art provides a contemporary, regionally rooted perspective, while the antiques and curious objects broaden the scope of the collection. If you are interested in art, you can focus your museum visit on it. Those more interested in the range of items in the collection will also find other groups of objects. Visits are guided. Check whether access is available before your trip and plan your visit in this format.

Architecture at El Panteón

El Panteón has several distinctive architectural features. Its floor plan is shaped like a four-leaf clover, and its blue dome also stands out. The stained-glass windows are pointed, while pinnacles and angel figures add to the design. The floor plan describes the shape of the building, while the dome, windows and figures highlight other details. An architectural perspective thus brings out different elements: the overall shape, the dome and the individual architectural features. The building can therefore be appreciated for more than just one striking feature.

Afuega'l Pitu at La Peñona

Advance booking is required at the La Peñona cheese dairy. During the visit, you can follow the production and packaging of the three varieties of Afuega'l Pitu made there: fresh, white-ripened and red-ripened. The variety names allow you to make a specific comparison between one fresh and two ripened versions. The visit thus pairs a particular product with insights into its production and packaging. Book in advance and check availability before your trip if you would like to plan this look at food production.

A Walk at the Fuente de Las Abedules

The Fuente de Las Abedules is set in beautiful surroundings that invite you to take a walk. It adds a landscape-focused dimension to the cultural and culinary themes. If you would like to make time for a walk as well as sightseeing, the area around the spring offers a separate point of interest. Here, the focus is on walking, rather than a collection or the production of a product.

Salt Carpets for the Patron Saint Festivals

Residents make salt carpets for the patron saint festivals. The tradition takes place regularly; check the exact festival dates locally before your trip. If you are interested in this custom, you should therefore compare your travel dates with the specific festival date. This connection with the festivals makes the tradition a different focus from choosing between art and architecture: here, the timing of your stay is what matters.
