The Church of Santa María de Junco is a Romanesque gem nestled in the quiet parish of Junco, just outside Ribadesella. Visitors can admire its sturdy stone construction, rounded apse, and simple yet elegant portal typical of Asturian medieval religious architecture. The surrounding green fields and traditional horreos (granaries) enhance the peaceful rural atmosphere. Inside, the church retains a humble charm with its single nave and wooden roof. It's a perfect stop for those interested in Romanesque art or seeking a tranquil cultural experience off the main tourist routes.
