The village of Soto, with the Picos de Eropa behind it, is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in the north of the peninsula, which has earned it the title of "the garden of the Peña Santa". The location of Soto is documented in the years 1080 and 1096 (in Sajambre or next to Beza, it is said) and in 1182 the Soto Sajambre mentioned in the diplomatic instrument must have already been a village. But what is hidden in the mist of time is the true origin of Soto, which has a Latin name (subtus: "forest") and is located at the foot of two mountains with mythical resonances (Peña Santa with its Jou Santo and Carombo) and on the very edge of the ancient Via Saliámica or Senda del Arcediano.
