The subsoil, consisting mainly of limestone and sandstone , with the Pozo de la Nieve, (1,130 m) as the highest elevation, is typical for this coastal region.
Waters

climate
As in large parts of Asturias, the proximity to the Gulf Stream means that the climate here is almost Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers but cold winters, and in autumn there are sometimes relatively strong storms.
economy
Here, as in much of Asturias, agriculture is the main occupation. Due to its location on the Eo, the tourism industry is growing rapidly. Trade and production only take place in medium-sized companies.
