Corvera de Asturias is a municipality within the principality of Asturias in northern Spain. It shares a boundary to the north with Aviles and Gozon; to the east with Carreno and Gijon; to the south with Llanera and Illas and to the west with Castrillon. Its capital, Nubledo, has a population of greater than 300 citizens. Corvera is the maximum japanese of the four counties forming the Great County of Aviles. It is located within the northern-critical area of the Principality of Asturias. It is 17.56 sq.Mi in length and has a populace of over 16,000 citizens, specially focused inside the villages of Las Vegas and Los Campos.

The major roads to get there are AS-19, AS-17 and A-8. The A-8 proceeds to Tabaza Carreno and the purchasing centre Parque Astur. Several prehistorical settlements had been observed in the county. The maximum interesting are those belonging to the Astures. They left their traces in "castros" fortified villages that have no longer been excavated yet: Pico Castiello in Molleda and Castiellu in Camina, Solis.

These "castros" have been most possibly used by the Romans, and we have a few strains of their presence there, a number of them so vital as the Estela Antropomorfa de Molleda human-shaped determine, in recent times can be visible in the Archaeological Museum of Asturias. In the 10th century the villages of the county of Aviles became collectively to form an simplest geographical entity called the "Alfoz de Gauzzone"; however it is not till the year 1120 that we discover the first written references to the county of Corvera within the Liber Testamentorum. In the 15th century, Corvera already seems as a county, independent of Aviles.
