Villamayor
Villamayor is a village in the parish of Teverga.
The village is located in the Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park, an area of great ecological value.
It is surrounded by the rivers Barranco de Riomayor to the east and Regato Salto del Agua to the south.
Villamayor, as with the region in general, is closely linked to mining. Coal outcrops are easy to find in the area.
On the outskirts of the village is the 16th century church of Saint Peter. Inside there are images of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Los Remedios.
The church currently possesses a bell, but during the Civil War it was destroyed and replaced by a rail from Hullasa (one of the main mining companies in the parish), which was rung mainly for funerals and festivals.
There is also a large house in the village that was the seat of the General Council of the Principality of Asturias in 1809.
