One of the main atractives of Fuentes del Narcea is their espectacular nature environment and its particular wild life.
There are not many places in the world where you can, in the same day, enjoy views over the mountains and ancient forest, and at the same time, observing wild life that you won’t find in other places, like the Cantabric brown bear which is really difficult to see in freedom.
Fuentes del Narcea is one of those places where, if you are lucky and patient, and sharp your senses, you will have the opportunity to see this great plantigrade and many other animals. In the air, in land or in the rivers and lakes... Life in our mountains is countless.
The great diversity of the habitats made our region the perfect place to discover the fauna of Asturias, although it is not an easy work. While walking, you can observe the most common animals, but the watching of hidden species needs more patient, ability and luck.
A nature guide and a pair of binoculars will help you
