Church of San Salvador de Perlora

Located in the Bo La Iglesia-Perlora. It is accessed from road AS-239, Luanco-Gijón, and at KP 7,050, it takes a path to the asphalted right that leads to the church after driving around 200 m on it.

This church was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War and rebuilt in the 40s by the contractor Manuel Pérez.

Its conservation status is good, most recently rehabilitated in 1998.

Festivities include the sacramental festival, which takes place on the 2th Sunday of July; that of the Patrono de Perlora, San Salvador, held on 6 August, and that of San Antonio Abad, Festivity of the Ramo, held on the following Sunday after 17 January.

Inside the Church of San Salvador of PerloraComo curiosity, on the gantry of the Church, there is a Cross on the wall, painted by the candasín painter Alfredo Menéndez, which is said to be a copy of what existed at the Monastery of San Salvador some 400 years ago. There are serious doubts as to the location of the monastery, which may have been in the vicinity of the Bay of Perán, currently the workshops of the Ciudad de Vacaciones de Perlora (Perlora Holiday City), and there are no remains of it. Access to the church is good.
