In the town of Villarquille (San Martín de Oscos) we find the Casa del Marco, a peasant house with its furniture, tools and implements which shows the way of life of the rural society of the region until the mid-twentieth century.
The set consists of five buildings that house the different spaces of a traditional house: the house with the entrance hall, the kitchen, the living room, the rooms, the attic and the oven cellar; and the rest of spaces for the development of the peasant activity: stables, hayloft, cabanón, loom, carpentry, henhouse, wine cellar, woodshed and potato.
In the farms near the house you can also enjoy the presence of animals typical of an Asturian farmhouse: chickens, horses, cows,…

- Mines
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.
