Candín Situated along the river, Well Lláscares is located in the area of \u200b\u200bCandín and Pajomal Valleys, where there are the first data and studies by Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos about hard coal in the late eighteenth century, when this operation was not yet booming, as would happen years later during the nineteenth century. This area is exploited by both coal continuously for more than a century. Before construction the existing well in 1930, already existed in the same spot mine entrances with small coal mines, including retaining a stack of 1920 and workers barracks of the decade. Among his historical data, features a coal mine explosion in 1944 in which three miners died, although not the only life which has become the well, which is regrettably common in vertical mining. In 1962 there was a miners' strike which was the result of filming the short "A heel strike" in 2007.

Some of its buildings are characterized by circular windows and gables holes topped by arch, thus influence of neoclassicism. It is known as the Well Candín II because nearby is a well Candín name.
