Architecture

The parish church, built in the colonial style, is located in the village of Miyares and is dedicated to Saint Mary of the O.
The square tower of Omedal, of medieval origin but significantly modified throughout history, is a notable feature.
The buildings are a blend of traditional Asturian architecture and the architecture brought by the "Indianos". There are excellent examples of these "Indianos" mansions. In the village center, there is an interesting collection of traditional hórreos and paneras in fairly good condition.

Activities

The main activity is livestock farming, which has shaped a landscape of meadows interspersed with wooded areas. The cattle graze in the meadows during the winter and move up to Mount Sueve in the summer, where the Asturcón Festival is celebrated on the third Saturday of August.
Tourism is another important activity.
