History

In prehistory, several Hill forts surrounded Villaviciosa, most located in the axis of the ria, near Rodiles. During the time of the Kingdom of Asturias in the 8th century, the population migrated to areas such as Amandi, Camoca, and Bedrinana, appearing frequently in the Maliayo territory.

By the time of Alfonso IX of Leon, in the 13th century, the municipality had begun to repopulate, as witnessed in 17 October 1270, when King Alfonso X The Wise created the document evidencing the establishment of a population in Buetes. At the same time, a Cistercian Order emerged in the valley of Boides creating the Monasterio de Santa Maria de Valdedios.

In the 16th century, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V landed and was hosted in the town (the most important event in village history).
