... a place to live sensations

La quintana was founded by the Rodriguez del Calello family in the mid seventeenth century. Initially it was called the home of writers, whose profession is now known as notaries. From that date remains an arch and main entrance, the 'llariega' and part of the main room.

Later, by the same Rodríguez del Calello, closely related to Miranda family, whose families are preserved coats of arms carved in wood on the altar of the chapel, expanded the house to the south wing in 1770, building a house much bigger and much elegant.

It reached its peak in the possession of Antonio Flórez-Valdés Rodríguez del Calello y Miranda, penultimate manor primogeniture and lord of the palace Flórez-Valdés in Carballo, Cangas, and its links and primogeniture, of Naviego, Gonzalez del Campillo in Carballo, of Cibea, of Bimeda, Miravalles of Berzana in Tineo, of 'Presnes in Pola de Allande of Calello in Salas, etc. Son of Francisco Flórez-Valdés and Alfonso de Llano, and his wife, Josefa Rodríguez del Calello y Miranda, Lady of the houses of el Calello, Berzana and Presnes. Grandson of Diego Benito Flórez-Valdés Peón and Duke of Estrada and his wife Teresa Alfonso de Llano, Cibea and Bimeda lady. Second grandson of María Teresa de Peón and Duke of Estrada and her husband Manuel Antonio, Lord and manor primogeniture of the palace Flórez-Valdés, Carballo. Third grandson of Captain Pedro de Peón and Duke of Estrada and his wife Francisca Felipa Queipo de Llano, granddaughter of Fernando Queipo de Llanoy Ximénez de Arellano and of his cousin and wife Emilia de Dóriga y Malleza. Fifth grandson of Queipo Fernando Llano and Ximenez de Arellano, and his wife, third counts of Toreno. Antonio was the first constitutional mayor of Cangas.

La Quintana del Caleyo becomes 'Indiana'. The Asturian 'indianos', those who emigrated to America and returned with a considerable fortune, to demonstrate their wealth used to build large houses in colonial style.

In 1878 Frank Menendez Alonso, asturian who emigrated to California and made his fortune in those lands, Mayor of Salas for the Liberals, awarded with the 'Gran Cruz de Carlos III', bought the 'Casona del Caleyo' to its owners family Florez-Valdes de Uria Rodriguez del Calello-Miranda, embellishing and highlighting it again.

In June 2004 the descendants of Frank Menendez with rights (32 in total) sold la quintana to the current family quintana, which, through a process of three years, made a difficult and complex rehabilitation to revive again la Quintana del Caleyo, this time for many people to enjoy it as a charming hotel.
