Our house is in Xedré, a mountain village located in a beautiful river valley at 700 m. altitude in the Asturian council of Cangas del Narcea, with a view of the beautiful Beech Forest of “Xedré and Monasterio de Hermo”.
The council of Cangas del Narcea is well known its livestock, mining, artisan and wine tradition.
We are in the center of the “Natural Park of Fuentes del Narcea Degaña e Ibias” and next to the Muniellos Forest. The two areas are classified as Biosphere Reserve for their high environmental value.
In this nature hidden paradise we can see brown bears, grouses, chamois or wolves. It is also a classified Z.E.P.A. nature spot (Special Protection Area for Birds). This Nature reserve is the perfect destination for wild animals enthusiasts.
We are so lucky to observe the brown bears, the best time is spring when we see the females and their cubs leave their caves to eat and learn how to survive.
Also people who like mountain fishing can enjoy this sport on the river Narcea, wich passes though our village, loads of trouts.
