Old Vibes and Water Power in Teixois

#summervacay The Conjunto Etnográfico de Teixois near Taramundi is like stepping into a tiny time machine. This little village is tucked into the hills and totally surrounded by green, and it’s all about how people used to live and work using just the power of water. The whole place runs on traditional hydraulic systems, like mills, hammers, and even a forge, all powered by streams. Super cool and surprisingly calming to watch. Teixois dates back centuries, and the restored buildings show off how clever and resourceful the locals were. It’s small, but every corner has something interesting, and you really get that cozy, rural Asturias feel. You can either explore on your own or join a short guided tour if you’re curious about how everything works. The walk there is also super nice, with forests and little bridges along the way. It’s quiet, a bit magical, and feels like a hidden pocket of history. Perfect for a chill visit if you’re exploring around Taramundi.
