Asturian bowling

The most credible hypothesis talks about how pilgrims brought this tradition thanks to the Camino de Santiago.

During the 19th century and the early 20th, the Asturian bowling became the most widespread activity in the rural zones of the Region.

Asturian bowling popularity grows during the 20th century with the creation of a Federation, that was dissolved during the Spanish Civil War.

Nowadays, due to the rural emigration, some bowling variations fell into disuse.

Despite the emigration, the rise of interest in traditional culture is helping to keep the game, specially in the most played variations like cuatreada, birle or bolo celta.
