Resting in a soft and sunny slope, you will find the village of Asque overlooking the lands of the Somontano region. The houses of the village are distributed around the main street, showing white facades and earthy colours.
Around 1885 the church, of Asque was built. It was dedicated to “Santa Columba”, following the dictates of the neogothic style. Across the door you will find the main aisle with lateral chapels.
Asque’s most famous product is the honey. It is purely natural and still a source of wealth for the village.
Once in Asque, you could also visit the unique Guadamacil museum of contemporary art. It is an unknown and spectacular pictorial technique from the hispanoarabic culture. It disappeared in the XVIIth century but it was rediscovered again by 1989. It combines painting and relief over a surface of leather.
For a long time, the only way to get to Colungo from Asque was across the Devil’s bridge. It is worth visiting it and its wonderful location in the precipice of Fornocal. The difficulty during its construction and the risk during the process made it popular among the inhabitants of both villages. Some local people would even say the Devil made it himself. |
