Protected Landscape of the Sierra del Cuera

Nature · Peñamellera Alta, Oriente, Asturias

A protected area running, parallel to the coast, along a ridge some forty kilometres long between the Sella and Deva rivers, in eastern Asturias, spread across the municipalities of Cabrales, Llanes, Peñamellera Alta, Peñamellera Baja and Ribadedeva. The western stretch of the sierra, between the Bedón and Sella rivers, lies outside this protected status. Its highest point is the Turbina peak, at 1,315 metres, on the boundary between Peñamellera Alta and Llanes. In all, its protected area of a little over 130 square kilometres combines forests, valleys, slopes and summits along this entire coastal stretch.
