Trails in Las Regueras and the surrounding area
The Senda Verde El Pedreru–San Pedro de Nora runs through the municipality of Las Regueras. It is just over four kilometres long, easy to walk and suitable for hiking and cycling. There are three rest areas along the route. Its length and ease of access give you a clear idea of how long a tour will take; the facilities at the rest areas may change.
Near Quejo, the Ruta de los Lanceros partly follows the Camino de Santiago, which also passes through the municipality of Las Regueras. Conditions on the Ruta de los Lanceros may vary; check them before setting out. The tours differ in the features described: the Senda Verde is noted for its length and ease of access, while the Ruta de los Lanceros is noted for partly sharing its route with the Camino de Santiago.
Pre-Romanesque church and Roman baths
The pre-Romanesque church of San Pedro de Nora, near Quejo, was built in the first half of the 9th century. Its basilica plan comprises three naves and three rectangular apses. The Roman Baths of Valduno in the municipality of Las Regueras date from the 1st century AD and can be viewed from outside at any time.
Numerous hĂłrreos and paneras (traditional Asturian granaries) have also been preserved in the municipality of Las Regueras. Some are over a hundred years old and are integrated into the rural landscape.
The Nora river landscape
A stretch of the Nora River Basin was declared a Natural Monument in 2003. It extends from the village of San Pedro de Nora to its mouth at the Nalón, at the Priañes reservoir, and provides an exceptional refuge for numerous migratory bird species. The protected landscape therefore covers a clearly defined stretch of the river.
Culinary history
The Jornadas del Pote Asturianu y del Pitu de Caleya have been held for more than 20 years and take place on the first weekend of February. El Quexu-Casa Florina in Quexo took part in the event. As of November 2024, Casa Florina had been closed for two years. Its former participation is a culinary trace of the past, not a current recommendation for a place to eat.
