Taramundi

Taramundi is a municipality in northwestern Asturias that spreads across valleys and hills, bordering Lugo province. The area contains several parishes and scattered settlements with a population of around 600 residents.

The municipality was established during 19th-century territorial reforms that consolidated several parishes under one local administration. This administrative reorganization shaped the region's structure in lasting ways.

The area maintains the Eonavian language, a distinct speech variety that residents speak in their daily lives in western Asturias. This linguistic tradition shapes local identity and how people communicate with each other.

The area sits in hilly terrain where roads wind through valleys, requiring some planning when moving around. Sturdy footwear and realistic expectations about walking distances help visitors explore the region better.

The area forms part of the Eo River UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a protected natural region that safeguards the plants and wildlife of this northern border zone. This designation reflects the ecological value of the diverse landscape.
