Are we in Scotland or in Asturias?
Although it seems that we are in the Scottish Highlands at the time of the MacDougall clan and that will suddenly appear behind the hills, we really are in the center of Asturies , a few kilometers from Uvieo.
This huge mass with walls two feet wide is the Tower of Peñerúes , and is in the town of El Campu in Morcín council. With its 17 meters height, this former defensive structure is one of the most important medieval monuments in the province.
Being under the remains of the tower, when daylight was giving way to the shadows of the night, their appearance became more and more impressive and did not take much imagination to be hit right in the twelfth century, when soldiers and gentlemen in these mountains fighting to defend the passage of the south.
