Mieres, Mining parish in Asturias, Spain
The parish extends across the Caudal River valley at 199 meters elevation, containing settlements nestled between mountains of northern Spain's mining region.
The San Juan parish church dates from 857 when King Ordoño I of Asturias established it, featuring original Romanesque architectural elements including columns and capitals.
Local festivals include La Foguera de San Juan on June 24 with bonfires and concerts, while Folixa na Primavera in April presents Celtic music performances.
The parish maintains railway connections to Madrid and Gijón, with regular train services operating through the central station in the municipality.
The area transformed from traditional cattle raising and forestry into an industrial center with iron, mercury, and coal mines alongside steel manufacturing facilities.
