Protected areas
Muniellos Wood, a nature reserve which lies within Cangas del Narcea and Ibias, is the core area of the Muniellos Biosphere Reserve (designated by UNESCO in 2000 and later extended). In 2002 a new natural park was created, the Natural Park of Fuentes del Narcea, Degaña, and Ibias (Parque Natural de Fuentes del Narcea, Degaña e Ibias), an area of 550 km2 (212 sq mi). The natural park provides the core area of the biosphere reserve with a buffer zone.[2] The park's formation prompted legal action by landowners, but a management plan for the protected area was approved in 2006.
The Muniellos Visitor Centre is in Cangas del Narcea [3]
