Somiedo Natural Park, Natural park and biosphere reserve in Asturias, Spain
The park extends over five valleys across 283 square kilometers, featuring limestone formations and elevations ranging from 400 to 2,200 meters above sea level.
The establishment of Somiedo Natural Park in 1988 marked the beginning of environmental protection efforts in this region of the Cantabrian Mountains.
Traditional stone huts with broom roofs, known as cabanas de teito, stand as remnants of centuries-old livestock farming practices throughout the park.
The visitor center in Pola de Somiedo provides information about hiking routes and educational materials about the local brown bear population.
The park contains the largest lake in Asturias, Lago del Valle, measuring 280 meters in radius and reaching depths of 50 meters.
