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 history of Villanueva de Oscos is closely linked to the Monastery of Santa María, at the entrance of the capital of the council. This Monastery, considered one of the great jewels of Asturian heritage and classified as a Historic-Artistic Monument, was born Romanesque and grew Baroque.
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 Mazonovo Mallet is located about 3 km from Santa Eulalia. It is a 17th century mallet active in the 21st century. This set is restored and rehabilitated in its integrity for the understanding of the iron industry. The building of the mallet stands out for being in a state in which it has not suffered great modifications with the passage of time. Here you can forge your own nail and take it as a souvenir.
Recently, the Town Council of Villanueva de Oscos, with the collaboration of the Principality of Asturias, has recovered and rehabilitated the mines of this municipality.
