Mieres, Mining municipality in central Asturias, Spain.
The municipality extends across the Caudal River valley, surrounded by mountains and containing seventeen distinct villages within its administrative boundaries.
The settlement grew substantially during the 19th century when coal mining operations transformed it from a rural area into an industrial center.
The St. John's Bonfire celebration occurs every June 24th with outdoor dining, concerts, dancing, and fireworks throughout the municipality.
The University of Oviedo campus and multiple museums focusing on industrial heritage provide educational opportunities for residents and visitors.
The region maintains active zinc smelters, blast furnaces, and machinery manufacturing facilities that support the northern Spanish industrial sector.
