Campo De Caso lies in an open hollow on the right bank of the River Nalón. Local themes include architectural styles, Asturian vernacular architecture, and a bridge above the course of an ancient Roman road. A hiking route also has a starting point and a destination. When choosing where to stay, it is therefore worth considering whether you mainly want to explore architectural heritage or also plan a hike.

The hollow, river, and road directions

The AS-17 leads to Campo De Caso and runs through the Nalón Valley Nature Park towards Puerto de Tarna. From Campo De Caso, the AS-254 goes via Orlé and the Collada de Arnicio towards Piloña. When planning your journey and stay, you can consider whether continuing towards Puerto de Tarna or Piloña fits with the other destinations on your trip. The roads describe different directions: the AS-17 leads to Campo De Caso, while the AS-254 continues from there towards Piloña.

Architectural styles and traces of time

Casa del Pandu is listed in the official cultural heritage inventory of Asturias under reference IPCA-EI-15-04 for El Campu, Caso; the entry is dated 30 July 2018. Casa de la Torre is notable for the form of the house: it is detached, has a square floor plan, and has three storeys. A medieval tower once stood on its grounds; it was demolished in 1919. This makes it possible to distinguish the architectural form of the house from the history of the tower on its grounds.

The small Capilla de San Cosme represents the tradition of Asturian vernacular architecture. Campo De Caso is also home to several Indianos houses with appealing architecture. These architectural highlights differ: a house with a specific description of its floor plan, a chapel as a symbol of regional tradition, and several Indianos houses. The focus is therefore not just on a single building, but also on different architectural forms and scales.

The bridge as a cultural and hiking landmark

The Puente Medieval de Caso crosses the Nalón and dates back to the Middle Ages. It was also built above the original course of an ancient Roman road. Two periods of history can be read side by side here: the medieval bridge and the older road route. A hiking trail leads from the bridge up to Monte Allende. If you are interested in both, it provides a specific starting point for a hike as well as a reference point for the history of the structure.

Choosing a hotel and planning your stay

When looking for hotels in Campo De Caso, you can first decide what matters most: should your stay focus mainly on architectural history and architecture, or would you like to plan a hike as well? The road information can help with this decision if you are considering trips towards Puerto de Tarna or Piloña.
