Serra dos Ancares, Mountain range in León and Lugo Provinces, Spain.
The Serra dos Ancares extends for 95 kilometers with peaks reaching 1987 meters, featuring valleys shaped by glacial and river processes.
The mountain range contains evidence of Iron Age settlements, with numerous archaeological sites scattered throughout its rocky terrain and valleys.
Traditional stone buildings called pallozas, with circular layouts and thatched roofs, demonstrate the architectural methods passed through generations in this region.
The mountain range offers multiple marked trails for hiking and cycling, with spring through autumn providing the most favorable conditions for outdoor activities.
The area contains two separate UNESCO Biosphere Reserves: Os Ancares Lucenses y Montes de Cervantes and Los Ancares Leoneses.
