The entire Europa Mountains span Asturias, Cantabria, Castile and Leon. As one of the earliest national parks in Spain, it is also one of the most famous and popular places for people seeking excitement, as there are plenty of opportunities for sports. On July 9, 2003, the Europa National Park was selected for the UNESCO-approved National Park Biosphere Reserve. In the park, you can see some protected species from time to time, such as Cantabrian Thunderbirds, Beard Vultures, Brown Bears, Iberian Wolfs and Cantabrian Wild Goats. There are also statues of these animals in the park. .
