The Sanabria Lake Natural Park (Parque natural Lago de Sanabria, currently Parque natural Lago de Sanabria y sierras Segundera y de Porto) was established on October 27, 1978. It is located in the northwest of the province of Zamora, Community of Castile and León, and includes the municipalities of Galende, Cobreros, Trefacio and Porto. The area of the park is, since it was expanded in 2015, 323.02 km2 (124.72 sq mi), and its altitude varies between 997 m (3,271 ft) on the shores of the lake, up to 2,127 m (6,978 ft) at the peak of Peña Trevinca. On June 9, 2015, UNESCO declared it part of the Iberian Plateau transboundary biosphere reserve. Sanabria is the largest lake of glacial origin in the Iberian Peninsula, with 3.18 km2 (1.23 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 53 m (174 ft), and throughout history, until the beginning of the 20th century, it has received different names, such as Lake San Martín de Castañeda or Lake Villachica. The fauna and flora of the park are very rich in species.
