(0085) Cangues d'Oní³ II, Asturies

ENG:
Cangas de Oní³ (Asturian: Cangues d'Oní³© is a municipality in the eastern part of the province and autonomous community of Asturias in the northwest of Spain. The capital of the municipality is also Cangas de Oní³®

More than seventy square kilometres of the concejo form part of the Parque nacional de los Picos de Europa. Within the park is the village of Covadonga, where the battle of Covadonga (about 722), the first major victory by a Christian military force in Iberia, marks the starting-point of the Reconquista.

Until 774, Cangas de Oní³ was the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias. It lies on the Sella River, which is there spanned by a "Roman bridge," which is actually from the medieval

SPA:
Cangas de Oní³ es un concejo, una parroquia, una localidad y un partido judicial de la Comunidad Aut󮯭a del Principado de Asturias. Limita al norte con Parres y Ribadesella, al este con Oní³ y Llanes, al oeste con Amieva y Parres y al sur con la provincia de Leó®® El lema que recoge su escudo es "Minima Urbium Maxima Sedium"

En su té²­ino municipal han dejado vestigio pobladores prehist󲩣os, como se puede constatar en la cueva del Buxu con pinturas y grabados solutrenses. Tambié® restos megalí´©cos como los dó¬­¥nes de Santa Cruz y de Abamia. Estas manifestaciones de antiguos pobladores tambié® se encuentran en los municipios colindantes.

Fue capital del Reino de Asturias hasta el añ¯ ·74. Aquí ³e estableci󠥬 rey Don Pelayo, y desde aquí ¥mprendi󠣯n sus gentes acciones sobre los territorios del norte de Españ¡¬ como ? foco de resistencia al poder musulmᮬ una vez desaparecido el dominio Godo. En este té²­ino municipal se dio la Batalla de Covadonga, donde Don Pelayo venció ¡ la fuerzas musulmanas y consolidó µ® poder y prestigio que le permitió °¥rmanecer independiente y fundar el primer reino cristiano posterior a la derrota de los godos en Guadalete.

Má³ de 7.000 hectá²¥as del concejo forman parte del Parque nacional de los Picos de Europa. Dentro del parque se encuentra el conjunto monumental de Covadonga, donde se inici󠬡 Reconquista en el añ¯ ·22. A 12 kiló­¥´ros de Covadonga se encuentran los llamados lagos de Covadonga (son tres: el de Enol, el de la Ercina y el Bricial) , de gran relevancia en el á­¢ito ciclista. En la capital de Cangas de Oní³ se halla el conocido como "Puente Romano", aunque su construcció® ¡ctual date en realidad de la Edad Media.

La població® ¤e Cangas de Oní³ está ¡sentada en el entronque de los rí¯³ Sella y G?siendo este ?o tributario del anterior. En el valle situado entre ambos rí¯³ se encuentra la capilla de la Santa Cruz. Que fue un templo de é°¯ca romana, reconstruido durante el reinado de Favila.

La tradició® ¤e Cangas de Oní³ sit? el campo de Santa Cruz el lugar de una batalla previa a la de Covadonga, que tambié® fue ganada por los cristianos.

(0086) Covadonga

Covadonga (Asturian: Cuadonga), from Latin Cova Dominica, "Cavern of the Lady", is a village in Asturias, northwestern Spain, among the Picos de Europa mountains where Spanish Christians won the battle over the Moors in 722 AD. This was the first significant Christian victory over the occupying Moors; as such, it is often considered to be the start of the Reconquista, the 770-year effort to expel the Moors from Iberia. Covadonga is currently a Marian shrine. The Spanish Army has, over the years, named several of its units "Covadonga".

In the mountains above the town there are lakes (Los Lagos de Covadonga), and the road leading to the lakes is often featured in the Vuelta a Españ¡ ¢icycle race.

In 1865, during the Chincha Islands War, Chile captured a Spanish ship called the Covadonga, at the naval battle of Iquique. Recommissioned under the same name by the Chilean Navy, the Covadonga participated in the War of the Pacific.
