In the late eighteenth century, a local family of farmers settled this land. With money from their work as emigrant laborers in Cuba and Latin America, they built a farmhouse that was unusually large for its time, with a stable on the ground floor and accommodations on the upper floor, as one would expect of the homes built by the area’s more successful farmers.

In 1900, they built the west wing and expanded the house with a new, modern kitchen on the ground floor and a dining room on the upper floor, as well as a traditional Asturian panera attached by a passageway to the living room. The space beneath the panera was originally used as a furnace, and later as a barn for small animals.

In 2000, José Luis, conscientious of the building’s historical value, began the renovation that would create four rural apartments. This painstaking process adhered to the regional style of building, which primarily uses stone and wood. After five long years of renovation, the house opened to the public in 2005. Since then, many people have passed through Ca Xuacu and have shared their experiences with us. Come get to know us. We look forward to seeing you.

Ca Xuacu is located in the western region of Asturias, in the area called “entre cabos” after the beautiful land between Cape Vidio and Cape Busto. Its rugged coast boasts many different kinds of beaches and breathtaking cliffs, and one can find a forest next to a majestic beach, as is the case with the beach at Quintana.
