Cervantes is a municipality in the comarca of Os Ancares, in the province of Lugo, Galicia (Spain). It had a population of 1,973 in 2005, and has an area of 277 square kilometres. Its highest point is Mustellar (1924 m), in the Ancares mountains. Until the second half of the 20th century this part of Spain was isolated. Many settlements had no road access or electricity and were cut off by snow in winter. Communities were small and self-sufficient. This way of life is shown in the small museum at Piornedo which is located in a preserved palloza. The main economic activities in 2006 were agriculture, forestry and tourism. The family of the novelist Miguel de Cervantes may have originated from this locality. ==Geography== Cervantes is located in the natural mountainous setting of Los Ancares in Lugo.
