Spectacular visit and a walk through history. Paco is one of the best guides, telling the story from an objective point of view, leaving aside political ideas. Without a doubt, we will repeat. It's a shame that they don't support him from the Ministry of Culture so that he has more visibility.

The visit is incredible!!!!! Paco does everything possible to make you feel well, he answers all the questions you have about any part of the museum. The visit is divided into three parts. The bunker that I loved, an apartment with vehicles and a warehouse full of incredible things from the civil war, but incredible, you can find everything. The visit to see it well takes three hours, but Paco is in no hurry and what he wants is for you to see it well, take photos, etc. and he stays to explain everything to you. He stayed with us for four hours and then we went to have a beer (which with the heat we experienced, we well deserved it). Without a doubt a success. Admission is 9 euros and children under 18 are free. Lola from Cantabria.

Experiencia excepcional sobre la guerra civil. Primero se visita el búnker, luego acudimos para ver un camión Alemán de la guerra, y finalmente nos desplazamos a ver el museo. Paco , el guía, es una excelente persona y conocedor de la historia. Fueron 3 horas de visita intensa, permiten coger armas de guerra.

There are two spaces to visit: on the one hand the museum and on the other a bunker from the civil war. The guide radiated great passion and knowledge of everything related to this stage that our country experienced and everything that happened in the region. The museum is surprising due to the large amount of existing weapons.

Visita indispensable para cualquier amante de la historia. Se divide en dos partes: un recorrido por el fortín republicano del Cueto, el más grande y mejor conservado del norte de España; y otro por un almacén en el que se conserva una impresionante colección de armamento, uniformes, documentos gráficos y maquetas referentes al conflicto. Cabe destacar sus vehículos, alguno original de época y otros cuidadas reproducciones de blindados, entre ellos un Trubia. Es preciso reservar con antelación, ya que no abre de continuo. La visita es conducida por un guía que explica todos los pormenores con absoluto lujo de detalles y sin escatimar tiempo. El único pero es que el proyecto aún se haya en fase de desarrollo, por lo que no esperen encontrar un museo con toda su faceta museográfica plenamente establecida. Aún queda mucho trabajo por delante, pero los cimientos están ahí y cualquier carencia es compensada por la riqueza de los materiales expuestos y por el buen hacer del guía.

It was an unforgettable experience, we arrived without an appointment but Paco was paying a visit and, since we didn't lose much, we joined them. While he showed us the place, he told us stories from the Civil War and later that expanded our knowledge. Then he showed us the bunker which, although it was not complete, the part we saw was great. I would recommend to Paco that when he finished the work on the bunker, try to make a representation, for example, in the infirmary, put decorated furniture or create trenches or similar so that people get an idea of ​​what it was like to be a republican, in that defensive enclave, between 37 and its fall, you could also do visual representations like in Belmonte that make a representation of D-Day, but of course not having support from the City Council it will cost more but if you could volunteer I would do it. Then we went to a warehouse which contained vehicles, weapons (from the Civil War and before and after), posters, photographs, magazines, books from the time...etc. But he is running out of space and is looking for a new, larger warehouse. It was a great experience that I would repeat and I found Paco very kind and knew what he was talking about and the passion for the history that he is trying to recover, so he has my full support.

(Translated by Google) It was a real luxury to be able to enjoy this tour through real scenes of the civil war in Asturias at the hands of Paco, the guide, a fundamental role throughout the visit (his knowledge on the subject is infinite). In addition, the amount of material collected is very extensive and varied. Honestly, it has been a real pleasure to make this trip back in time. I recommend it to those who like history and experience past events up close. (Original) Fue un auténtico lujo poder disfrutar de este recorrido por escenarios reales de la guerra civil en Asturias de la mano de Paco, el guía, papel fundamental durante toda la visita (su conocimiento sobre el tema es infinito). Además la cantidad de material recopilado es muy extensa y variada. Sinceramente ha sido un verdadero gustazo realizar este viaje en el tiempo. Lo recomiendo a los que les guste la historia y vivir de cerca hechos pasados.

Recomendable visita para personas con curiosidad y ganas de aprender, de cualquier edad e ideología. Paco y Berto son apasionados del tema y consiguen transmitir su entusiasmo. Esperamos que reciban el apoyo necesario para la mejor conservación del búnker y una nueva ubicación para la colección de objetos de guerra, aunque egoístamente como visitantes hemos disfrutado mucho más en esta exposición en la que hemos podido tocar y experimentar con libertad que si tuviera un formato de museo convencional, aunque entendemos que sería mucho mejor para la conservación de los objetos históricos.

Es una experiencia inolvidable seguro que le gusta a cualquiera y enseña todo tipo de armas usadas en la Guerra Civil Española.El guía no tiene ningún tipo de problema en contarte la historia aparte también puedes hablar de él de otras guerras.

El Cuetu is a fascinating Spanish Civil War bunker and museum with a surprising number of artefacts for what is a small-scale private museum. The organisation's ambition is far larger than its size. A highlight is the replica UNL-35 armoured car used extensively by the Republican side. Some of its parts are original and it is one of only two on display in the world. Paco, our guide, gave us a brilliant overview of the bunker's usage during the conflict and how it fit in to the broader regional and national campaigns. He has a passion for the subject that really shines through. If you are a Spanish speaker, I highly recommend booking a tour the next time you're in Asturias. You will need a car. If you don't speak Spanish, Paco told me he has a colleague who provides English-language tours upon request with sufficient notice. See their Facebook page for more details.

Fabulous experience, excellent displays in both locations! Paco is a great guide, who knows everything about Spanish military history. I strongly recommend supporting this voluntary initiative to maintain a museum of the Civil War period.

Para mí, el mejor museo de Asturias. Es lamentable que no se le de el apoyo que se merece y tengan tantas trabas para establecerse en condiciones. Sin embargo, pese a ser un proyecto incipiente, le pega mil vueltas a cualquier museo bélico en el que he estado.

It is incredible that there is this gem in Oviedo and that it does not have a preferred and adequate place to display everything there is. It should be in the old Oviedo weapons factory where, by the way, a good handful of the weapons on display here were manufactured. Paco is an encyclopedia, with an overflowing passion, who explained to us everything about the bunker and the pieces on display and others stored due to lack of space. They should have a ton of institutional support and instead they are surviving on donations and volunteer time and effort. Many thanks to all of you who make this museum possible, and especially to Paco, for your time and dedication. We will surely return.

If you are passionate about the civil war, you must visit the El Cuetu museum at least once in your life. I found out about the existence of this place thanks to the youtuber Detección Metálica, and since I met him I had always wanted to go; I certainly have no regrets and it has met all my expectations. You can tell that the guide is passionate about the subject and explains everything to you in great detail, he always makes sure that you see everything well and are comfortable. The bunker / fort is very well preserved and the museum is truly amazing, with lots of weapons, brochures, propaganda, models, etc... I definitely recommend taking a visit to this place.

(Translated by Google) I don't think there are many experiences that are less worth doing in Asturias, one of those is visiting this museum. First of all, it must be emphasized that the treatment is excellent and the guide receives you, attends to you and explains, and you can even chat with him about topics related to the visit without any problem. These points make everything that he teaches you to be done in a very pleasant and enjoyable way. The content of the museum is very special and with many curiosities, in relation to what they exhibit. A fan of these issues will not feel disappointed at all. In addition, every visit helps the children to enlarge the exhibition and improve the infrastructure. (Original) No creo que haya muchas experiencias que menos lleguen a merecer la pena realizar en Asturias, una de esas es visitar este museo. Primero hay que recalcar que el trato es excelente y el guía te recibe, atiende y explica, e incluso puedes charlar con él de temas relacionados con la visita sin ningún problema. Estos puntos hacen que todo lo que te enseña se haga de forma muy amena y agradable. El contenido del museo es muy especial y con muchas curiosidades, en relación a lo que exponen. Un fanático de estos temas no se va a sentir para nada desilusionado. Además, toda visita ayuda a que los chicos puedan agrandar la exposición e ir mejorando la infraestructura.

Fantastic collection of militaria! Very informative thanks to Paco, tells you everything you need to know about the civil war in Oviedo, the local arms factories. Absolutely recommended!

An essential museum. The guide is very friendly and capable of transmitting data and passion for history. Both the exterior visit and the collection are surprising and recommended for audiences of all ages.

"Gracias" es la palabra que te sale decir una vez terminas la visita al museo del Cuetu. Da gusto cuando un profesional como Paco es capaz de transportarte a otra época, explicarte con todo lujo de detalles y contarte la historia de tal manera, que las horas pasan volando y la visita se hace hasta corta. Tres son los escenarios que te encontrarás en esta visita. El búnker, el almacén de los vehículos y cañones, y la nave con todo el material. Hemos pasado una tarde excepcional ¡y no descartamos volver!

(Translated by Google) Super recommended visit, with a very good guide like Paco, thank you very much for the visit, we will return (Original) Visita super recomendable, con un muy Buen guia como Paco, muchas gracias por la visita, volveremos
