The municipality and its three settlements
Pesquera is the municipality; Pesquera town is its only officially recognised population centre. Ventorrillo is a neighbourhood and Somaconcha is an abandoned settlement. Each has its own page so visitors can explore them without confusing their histories.
The valley has long been a route between the Meseta plateau and the coast. The Besaya Roman road, listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest, starts near Somaconcha and continues beyond the municipality. Later, the Camino Real and riverside industries reshaped the corridor. Today the cheese fair and interpretation centres help visitors discover this history.
