Case

Its nature is so pure and wild that the whole municipality is a Natural Park, specifically Redes, which has also been declared a Biosphere Reserve and has the greatest vertebrate biodiversity in Asturias. Such purity means that it has excellent hydrological reserves, to the point that it is in this territory, in one of its most charismatic villages, Tarna, where there is a mythical spring, that of the Nalona, and there, as a small stream, is born what will later become a great river, the Nalón, which has given so much life and history to Asturias. Such purity is also found in one of the most emblematic autochthonous breeds of Asturian livestock, the Casina.

Tañes - with its dammed Nalón -, Caliao, Bueres, etc. are names of villages and parishes that give character to a territory that also has peaks such as Tiatordos or gorges such as Arrudos, which bear witness to a rich orography and spectacular landscapes. And all of this in a sustainable framework, which has earned this council a sustainability award. As a culmination to so much native livestock and good pastures, a cheese with Designation of Origin that tastes like glory, the Casín.
