History of Onís
To speak of the first inhabitants of the area, we must go back to the Neolithic period , when, after the last ice age, the inhabitants of the coast began to settle in the heights of the Picos de Europa mountains. The Roman legions passed through here, and the inhabitants would later confront the power of the Emir of Córdoba… what characterizes the people of these lands is their respect for the environment. The group of shepherds of the Picos de Europa has received the Exemplary Village of Asturias award.
