It was officially launched as a national park in the year 1996, and included in the UNESCO’S network of Biosphere Reserves in 2001.
Its territory is filled with forests, which take up 40% of its surface, making it the Protected Space with the most trees in Asturias, and by default one of the most important in the Iberian Peninsula. Its most common types of trees are the beech and the oak, which populate the areas of sunlight.
