Carreño, Administrative municipality in coastal Asturias, Spain

Carreño encompasses 66.7 square kilometers of territory bordered by Corvera de Asturias, Gozón, the Cantabrian Sea, and Gijón in northern Spain.

Archaeological findings, including tumuli, dolmens, and hill forts across Carreño territory demonstrate continuous human settlements dating back more than 100,000 years.

The municipality maintains strong maritime traditions through its Canning Museum, marine painting exhibitions, and the Antón Museum displaying regional sculpture collections.

The central location of Candás, serving as the municipal capital, provides direct access to beaches, weekly markets, and connections to major Asturian cities.

The Sierra Areo mountain range rises to 264 meters within Carreño, creating a natural boundary that shapes the local landscape and coastal formations.
