Image of Cariño, not of the place itself.

Recognised by UNESCO as a global geopark on 24 May 2023, it takes in almost 632 square kilometres spread across seven concellos and is the second geopark in Galicia after the Montañas do Courel, recognised in 2019; it owes the designation to outcrops of rocks of the Earth's mantle considered among the largest on the planet.
