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.
The Casa del Agua de Bres, Taramundi, was created with the aim of making known the relationship between cultures and the dynamics of water throughout history. In this installation water is conceived, on the one hand, as a living substance capable of developing a force that men have been using throughout history to perform tasks that require power and routine work.
There are remains in the Oscos region that tell us that mining was an activity that was developed in the area since prehistoric times. Before the conquest of the Romans, the inhabitants of this region were already looking for gold nuggets in the river placers. But it was after the arrival of the Romans that this industry was boosted. In the Flavian period, at the beginning of the first century A.D., a first golden age was experienced. The castros (fortified settlements) resurged as a result of the exploitations and the landscape was dotted with small industries of which there are still remains such as: forges, function furnaces and samples of the technology that was used for the exploitation of the deposit.
The Bres Craft Center is located in the old Casona de Villanueva, in the center of Bres, 5 kilometers from the capital of the council. This center was conceived as a facility to facilitate the knowledge and enhancement of craft activities, both new and traditional of the region.
