Langreo
Spend half a day in Langreo for its industrial heritage sites; add a night only if you need a base for the valley rail line.
Langreo is a post‑industrial town in Asturias with several museums and historic chapels linked by commuter rail. The sights cluster around the valley and can be visited in a few hours, so a single half‑day visit is enough unless you want to stay overnight for train connections.
