Main sights

  • Ruins of the church of San Pedro de Plecín
  • Parish church of San Pedro, in Alles
  • Gastronomy

    One of the most famous products of the municipality is the Peñamellera cheese. It is the heir to a long tradition of artisanship. Despite the fact that it was near the point of disappearing, it has grown in recent years due to the establishment of a cooperative to produce it.

    Another famous food from the region is the salmon from the Cares River. The honey of Peñamellera, used in desserts, deserves mention also.

    The traditional drink of the municipality, like the rest of the principality, is cider.
