Esquíos is a village in the council of Taramundi inhabited for centuries by families of ferreiros, the Lombardía family, who emigrated from Italy to the Basque Country and later to Asturias.
Inside the house of Esquios there is an interesting collection of utensils and tools of the daily life of any family in the region. More than a thousand pieces of different uses and in good state of preservation, including the famous “guincho” to carry the crops up the steep slopes surrounding the farmhouse, in use since the 40s.
A walk through the exhibition accompanied by a guide is enough to learn about the tools built and used by our ancestors, most of them made in the municipality of Taramundi, and essential for the subsistence in a rural area (carpentry tools, basketry, basketry, blacksmith, etc.).
Accompanying this exhibition is an interesting forge workshop where they still make the famous knives signed “M. Lombardia”.

Yacimientos Arqueológicos “Os Castros”
- Taramundi
- Heritage
El yacimiento, conocido como Os Castros se localiza en la capital del concejo. Buena parte de su superficie se ha mantenido ajena al desarrollo urbano del municipio si bien la carretera que desciende hacia Mazonovo significó la destrucción algunas cabañas y parte de la muralla. En el año 2000 se iniciaron las excavaciones arqueológicas bajo patrocinio del Ayuntamiento de Taramundi, la Consejería de Cultura del Principado de Asturias y la meritoria colaboración de la asociación de hosteleros locales ANTURTA.
