Geographically it limits with the provinces of Ourense, Lugo and Asturias and is a communication axis between Galicia, León and Asturias. It has a characteristic Mediterranean micro-climate, with milder temperatures than the neighboring areas and its low altitude generally prevents late frosts, which is quite benign for the harvest, which is normally one month earlier than the rest of Castile and the Rioja.
