Pola de Siero

Pola de Siero sits on the banks of the Nora River between Oviedo and Gijón, with the Cantabrian Mountains forming a natural boundary around the area.

King Alfonso X of Castile granted the town its charter in 1270, establishing a weekly market in Plaza les Campes that continues to operate every Tuesday.

The town maintains its regional identity through its meatpacking facilities, brewing operations, and tanning industries, which form the backbone of local employment.

Located 16 kilometers east of Oviedo and 16 kilometers south of Gijón, Pola de Siero provides central access to major transportation routes across Asturias.

The municipality completely encircles the neighboring town of Noreña and connects with Villaviciosa at a single point known as La Peña de los Cuatro Jueces.
