Buelna is one of two lugares in Pendueles, the other one also named Pendueles. [2] It has suffered a population decrease, coming from 79 people in 2010 to 47 people in 2023. [1] It is known for its beach, 600 m. away from the town and its traditional Asturian houses. [3]
The Church of Santa María de Buelna was home to the Count of Valle de Pendueles. [4]
The term Buelna can date back to 978, first found as Ŏlna, which then evolved to Ulna, then entered diphthongisation as Huelna or Uelna, and after became Buelna. [5] The terms may be from the Proto-Indo European root *orn-a (water that shakes). [6]
