Discover Monco: Nature, Culture and Holiday Apartments

Nature, Traces and Mountain Trails

Bronze Age axes were found in Moncóu; they are among the evidence of prehistoric settlement in the Cangas del Narcea area.

Casa Gloria is a country house in the “Casa de Aldea 3 trisqueles” category at Moncóu 12.

The Muniellos Integral Nature Reserve is considered a refuge for the brown bear and the Cantabrian capercaillie. The “Puerta de Munieḷḷos” route includes Peña Moncó as one of its prominent mountain points.

The route leads from Mual via the Mirador de Montecín and the Colláu de Moncóu back to Mual. The ascent from Mual passes the village of Moncóu and then continues along mountain trails. The route leads to the access enclosure of the Muniellos Integral Nature Reserve.

The “Puerta de Munieḷḷos” mountain running event has been organised and held by the residents of Mual since 2012. Route stops, connections with nature and cultural topics can be compared separately for personal planning.

Landscape and Regional Surroundings

Somiedo Natural Park lies in the wider regional surroundings of Moncóu.

The mountain Peña Rubia lies in the wider regional surroundings of Moncóu.

The mountain Alto de Cuíña is also located in the wider regional surroundings of Moncóu. The Mustallar summit likewise belongs to this wider regional area.

For your personal planning, you can consider the different focuses in any order. You can set individual interests alongside one another and decide for yourself which ones you would like to explore in greater depth. Such a comparison helps you define your own focus without turning different topics into a single expectation of the place. When comparing, it makes sense to focus on one aspect at a time and then move on to the next. This keeps the planning open to different emphases, while each subject area can stand on its own. The order does not have to be fixed: it can be adapted to the desired pace and to the questions you would like to clarify before a trip. This leaves room to set, rearrange or continue pursuing individual focuses separately.

Culture and Local Connections

The Wine Museum of Cangas del Narcea, the Alejandro Casona Visitor Centre and the Ethnographic Museum of Grandas de Salime are located in the wider regional surroundings of Moncóu.

The cultural heritage site “Explotación de las Movidas” is associated with Moncóu; the date given is 30 January 2014.

Miel Fuentes del Narcea has the address Moncóu 8.

When staying in a holiday apartment in Moncóu, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can be considered separately from the landscape and cultural topics mentioned above. These details form a separate framework for choosing accommodation, while the Bronze Age traces, mountain trails, nature reserves and museums remain the thematic points of reference for the trip. Accommodation details and local connections are clearly presented alongside one another as two different levels of consideration.
