Taramundi
A craft village in the mountains of western Asturias, famous for traditional knife-making. Stone houses, water mills and forest trails make it a pioneer of rural tourism.
Taramundi is one of the birthplaces of rural tourism in Spain. The town has dozens of handmade knife workshops, where you can watch the forging and buy folding knives with wooden handles. There is also a knife museum. Nearby villages keep their stone houses, water mills and pottery workshops, which can be explored on foot or by car. It is about 35 km of mountain road from Ribadeo, roughly 45 minutes by car, so allow half a day to a full day.
