The Monasterio de Corias, often referred to as "El Escorial of Asturias," is a magnificent symbol of history and spirituality nestled in the verdant Narcea Valley. Founded in the 11th century, this Benedictine monastery has long been a beacon of culture, faith, and learning in Asturias. Its grand Baroque architecture, with its imposing stone façade and serene cloisters, invites reflection and awe.

Surrounded by lush forests and the gentle flow of the Narcea River, the monastery offers a tranquil retreat from the modern world. Inside, you’ll find echoes of its storied past in the ancient library, once a hub of knowledge, and in the beautifully preserved church, where centuries of prayers have left a palpable sense of peace.

Today, the Monasterio de Corias serves not only as a historical monument but also as a unique Parador, welcoming guests to experience the serenity and beauty of its sacred halls. Whether you're exploring its rich history or simply soaking in the tranquility of its surroundings, the Monasterio de Corias is a place where time seems to stand still, offering a deep connection to the spiritual and cultural heritage of Asturias.

Corias is a small town in the municipality of Cangas del Narcea, located just 2 km from the municipality's capital, on the banks of the Narcea River.
Corias is known for two very specific reasons: its monastery, an architectural gem that was converted into a National Tourist Parador about 10 years ago; its vineyards, cultivated by the monks of the monastery, with its current Monasterio de Corias winery standing out, whose white and red wines are good and very unique.
