The Heartwarming Story of Sisterna

Nestled in the breathtaking Asturian landscape, Sisterna tells a nostalgic tale of resilience and tradition. Once home to 48 spirited souls in 2000, the population dwindled to just 19 by 2021. Echoes of its rich past resonate through the narrow streets where artisans thrived, skillfully carving wood and selling their wares across Spain. This distinctive history of Sisterna reflects a close-knit community where every street held stories of hard work and camaraderie.

As you explore this charming parish, consider wandering through nearby enchanting places like Cangas del Narcea, El Puerto de Somiedo, or even Puentecastro. Each village forms a collective tapestry of history that beckons discovery.

The heart of Sisterna beats within the artistry of its woodworkers, known as "tixileiros," and their legacy is lovingly preserved in the local ethnographical museum. To honor this history, we invite you to share your own imágenes antiguas de Sisterna. This unique project aims to safeguard the memories of our ancestors for generations to come.
