Muniellos, Nature reserve in Cangas del Narcea, Spain
The Muniellos Reserve contains 5,488 hectares of protected woodland, featuring the largest oak forest of Quercus robur on the Iberian Peninsula.
The area transformed from a timber extraction site to a protected reserve in the 1970s, leading to its designation as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2000.
The surrounding municipalities maintain traditional agricultural practices while integrating conservation efforts to protect the local flora and fauna species.
Daily access is limited to 20 visitors who must obtain authorization from the Office of Environmental Affairs between 15 and 23 days before their visit.
The reserve hosts over 400 species of fungi and contains three glacial lakes at Candanosa Peak, formed during the last ice age.
