About this place
Redes Natural Park is a protected natural area in the Principality of Asturias, in northern Spain. It spans two municipalities, Caso and Sobrescobio, covering a combined area of 377.36 km2 (145.70 sq mi). The park has held official natural park status since 1996.
Where exactly is the park located?
Redes lies in the eastern part of Asturias, in a region shaped by the mountainous terrain typical of this part of northern Spain. The park's coordinates, roughly 43.19 north and -5.38 west, place it inland, away from the Bay of Biscay coastline, in an area characteristic of Asturias's interior.
Which municipalities does the park cover?
The protected area extends across two neighboring municipalities: Caso and Sobrescobio. This administrative split means the park is not confined to a single town's boundaries but spans a broader stretch of the region, with both municipalities sharing responsibility for the territory that falls within the natural park.
How large is Redes Natural Park?
The park covers 377.36 km2 (145.70 sq mi). Measured against other natural parks in Asturias, this places Redes among the larger protected areas in the region. A territory of this size, spread across two municipalities, points to a varied landscape within its boundaries.
Since when has the area been protected?
Redes was declared a natural park in 1996. That means the area has carried formal protected status for several decades, giving it a long track record as part of Spain's network of protected natural areas.
What sets the park apart from the surrounding Asturian terrain?
The defining feature is its formal protected status, granted in 1996, which distinguishes this specific stretch of land from the wider Asturian countryside around it. The fact that the park's boundaries cross into two separate municipalities also indicates that its limits were drawn according to natural criteria rather than administrative convenience alone.
