Room 1No are references to surely date the first slumses in Somiedo, but the absence of vestiges of the paleolítico makes think that the first settlers correspond to the neolithic one. From then to Somiedo it has received the influence of different cultures here, for example, rest of funeral túmulos speak to us of the age of bronze, while real the Camín call of Mesa remembers the Roman presence or some románicos elements to us of the church of Santa Maria de Gúa the influence of the church during the Average Age.

Formerly the agricultural activity had certain importance in a subsistence economy, but today the inhabitants of Somiedo live mainly on the cattle ranch. The council is one of the most important reserves of a particular race of bovine, the Asturian one of Valleys or is vacant roxa, destined to the meat production. One is a system of extensive cattle ranch, based on the mixed advantage of the ground of private use and collective lands. The habitual scheme is a cyclical displacement of the cattle between the meadows near the town, of private property and the communal grass of height used during the summer and the grass of brañas, where it remains the cattle until the autumn to the delay of being estabulado in winter until the next spring. To this general model other two more and more minority schemes are superposed: the vaqueiros of raised on the one hand and the trashumante merino cattle coming from the plateau by another one. The vaqueiros of raised inhabit some population centers in Somiedo (the Port, the Pear tree, the Llamardal and, formerly, some more) a part of the year; the rest of the time lowers with their cattles to pass the winter to towns of Miranda and Rooms.   The interaction of the population with natural means and its advantage has given rise to a rich ethnographic patrimony whose more singular element is the constructions with teito of broom (covered vegetal), this type of cover was used in houses, hórreos, mills, churches, etc ....., as well as the cabanas of brañas, which we can observe distributed by all the Park in an important number. It exists another type of cabins of circular plant and stone whole numbers called groups of people that also we can contemplate in some braña. Also they are to emphasize the olleras, done constructions of stone next to sources by which the water ran that cooled milk that contained the pots.   Like in other many zones of Asturias numerous hórreos and paneras exist, also hydraulic mills and of rabil, all it related to a self-supplying economy.
