**El Coto de Buenamadre** (often referred to simply as **El Coto**) is a quintessential Asturian mountain hamlet located at the foot of the [PR-AS 11]. The village is nestled into a steep hillside. The area is characterized by ancient stone walls which were historically used to divide grazing land.
UR - Iglesia de San Lorenzo**, the local parish church has been around since medieval times (5th - 15th century, 500-1500AD).
LEFT photo - In a mountain village like this, these fountains were the lifeblood of the community, used for drinking water, washing clothes, and watering livestock as they returned from the high pastures like the Braña de Mumián you just visited.
Architecture: It is built using the same rugged limestone as the Iglesia de San Lorenzo and the surrounding peaks, allowing it to blend perfectly into the landscape.
