[2] Taramundi is part of the Turía Valley or “Valle del Turía”, a small valley on the western border of the Cantabrian Mountains in the northwest of Spain which is close to beaches and is divided by two counties: Asturias and Galicia.

Also Taramundi is part of the Eo River, Oscos and Buron lands Biosphere Reserve.

Construction, commerce, hotels and rural tourism also account for high percentage of local business.

The Turia river is fed by numerous streams and creeks from the mountains that limit the valley, and is part of the Eo UNESCO biosphere reserve.

The Turia river is a source of industry and its waters are used to generate socio-economic activities based on ancient traditions such as Navajeros crafts and textiles, as well as the primary industry of salmon farming in A Pontenova (Lugo).
