Upon entering Ujo, keep to your left if you want to stop for coffee or breakfast. To your right is an exercise path that you can also take, but it bypasses all of Ujo's services.
The church, the train station, and the breakfast bar are all in the square to your left when you follow the road. Both routes meet up at the end of town, and from here to Mieres you'll follow the exercise trail along the river. Ujo has a quiet dignity — a mining village that's adjusted to quieter times without losing its character.
Ujo was a significant mining settlement during the coal boom. The train station connected the village to the broader mining rail network that moved coal from the valleys to the ports and steel mills. Like many villages in the Caudal valley, its population has declined as the mines closed, but the architectural legacy of the mining era — solid workers' housing, the rail infrastructure, the social clubs — remains visible.
