The Biosphere Reserve
Destination Rio Eo, Oscos and Terras de Burón
The Eo river naturally creates this reserve, joiningan extraordinarily diverse territory of nature and people, from the mountains to the sea.
The salmon, the sea bream and the eel cross it in comings and goings from the cathedrals that the sea builds on its coasts to the limpid and brave waters of its mountains. And the pilgrims to Santiago cross it by the shore of the sea by the North road, or by the heights by the Primitive way. Galicia and Asturias are mixed in this territory of all.
Union of Asturian and Galician cultures
The Río Eo, Oscos and Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve covers 14 municipalities located in the northwest of Asturias and the northeast of Lugo (Galicia), extending over an area of more than 159,000 hectares . This Biosphere Reserve is organized around the Eo river basin, from its source in Fonteo (municipality of Baleira, Lugo) to its mouth in the Cantabrian Sea.
The territory is made up of at least four large landscape units: the Western Cantabrian coast, the riverbeds, the estuary of the Eo river and the mountains and hills.
