Torazu
Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España
Old hórreo granaries stand among the farmhouses of Torazu, a rural parish of eight hamlets in Cabranes. In 2008 it won the Exemplary Village of Asturias award, and it still keeps its customs, from the San Juan bonfire to the Christmas aguinaldo. Its Ramos procession, held on the last Sunday of August since the 18th century, is considered the largest in Asturias.
