The Serra dos Ancares (Spanish: ''Sierra de los Ancares'', also known as ''Sierra de Ancares'') is a mountain range of the Galician Massif in north-west Spain, extending in a south-westerly direction from the western end of the Cantabrian Mountains in Asturias. The area was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2006.〔( Os Ancares UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserve )〕 ==Geography== The range forms the boundary between the autonomous communities of Galicia and Castile and León. The highest point of the range is the Cuiña Peak at . Other notable peaks are Mustallar (1,935 m) and Miravalles (1,969 m). The smaller Serra do Courel lies south of this range, stretching parallel to it. The main trees in the range are willow and European alder close to water courses, as well as chestnut, ash, common hazel, oak and common holly. Above there is brushland with tree heath and juniper.〔González Arias, Alejandro,''Guía e rutas dos Ancares,'' Vigo: Editorial Galaxia, 1995, pp 13-14〕 This area of Spain contains many isolated rural communities that were largely cut off from the outside world until roads were built in the mid 20th century. The most significant element of the whole architecture of the area is the palloza or ''casa teito'', stone buildings of astur origin, with a circular or elliptical plan. Sierra de los Ancares is the name of a Site of Community Importance in the province of León.〔(Sierra de los Ancares ), ''Urugallo cantábrico'' website. According to this source, the SCI covers the same area as a regional hunting reserve.〕 File:Ancares lucenses (Lugo, Galicia, España) 09.JPG |Serra dos Ancares (Lugo) File:Ancares lucenses (Lugo, Galicia, España) 06.JPG|Serra dos Ancares (Lugo) File:Sierra de los Ancares (León, España) - lago en el camino hacia el Cuiña.JPG|Serra dos Ancares (León) File:Sierra de los Ancares (León, España) - vistas subiendo al Pico Miravalles.jpg|Serra dos Ancares (León) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Serra dos Ancares」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
