Formerly a mining area, now its economy is based on agriculture and emerging tourism. The tourism is based on the area's beauty and historical interest. The peak Sobia is distinguished by its impressive vertical walls of limestone and its flat top. The
collegiate church of San Pedro, in a high medieval style, dates from between 1069 and 1076. One can explore the mountains and the 12-km long Huerta Cave, the Senda del Oso bicycle path, or a museum of prehistory.
In 2013, Teverga was prized with the Exemplary Town of Asturias Award, of the
Prince of Asturias Awards. Because of this recognition,
Felipe, Prince of Asturias, visited the town in October 2013.
