Cerredo

Curiosity · Degaña, Narcea, Asturias

Cerredo, Zarréu in Asturian and in its official name, is a parish and settlement in the concejo of Degaña, in south-western Asturias, one of the highest villages in Asturias at 1,030 metres and the most populous among them, even above the municipal capital, which sits at 852 metres and is in turn the highest in the Principality. Its main activity has been mining, with underground and open-cast workings of the Coto Minero Cantábrico within the parish boundary. It celebrates the feast of Saint Roch on 16 August, that of Covadonga on 8 September, that of Saint Barbara on 4 December and, on the second weekend of June, the Fiesta de La Collada, a livestock fair in the area bordering León.
