This council forms a narrow and long band of land that joins mountain, river and sea. The fertile freshwater of the river Sor ploughs its rugged lands from south to north. The River Sor of Mañón flows between the provinces of A Coruña and Lugo, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.
The mountainous alignments of the Serra da Faladoira and Serra da Coriscada, the valleys of the Sor river and its estuary, and the peninsula that forms Estaca de Bares offers a very attractive landscape and of exceptional natural value. The coast is defined as the part of the land adjoining or near the Ocean. Galicia (occasionally Galiza) is an autonomous community in northwest Spain.

Mañón has a very particular geographical structure and the river Sor ploughs deep valleys with plenty of vegetation, which contrasts with the leafy high areas of the mountain range. The serpent shapes drawn by the Sor and its tributaries along their courses form a succession of inserted meanders, which form valleys with a lot of vegetation, where we can see rapid and beautiful waterfalls. The weather is wet oceanic and the mild winters are followed by fresh summers. The rainfall is particularly abundant, but due to the relief, there are local microweathers, as happens in the banks of the river Sor, where the vegetation is partially responsible for the weather changes. These physical and weather conditions, as well as its privileged situation between two seas, made Estaca de Bares to be declared 'natural area of national interest', and more recently, a protected area.
