About the museum
La Casa del Lobo is an interpretation centre in Belmonte de Miranda, on the AS-227 road that leads to the Somiedo Natural Park. Its permanent exhibition presents the Iberian wolf, one of the most emblematic species of Asturias, from a naturalistic perspective, with attention to environmental education and the protection of biodiversity.
The building has two floors with rooms devoted to the wolf’s anatomy and communication, its distribution in the world and on the Iberian Peninsula, its life in the pack, hunting techniques, the relationship between wolves and humans, the legend of the wolf, and a tribute to Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente.
The visit can be completed with a guided walk of about 1.5 km along the banks of the Pigüeña river to the enclosure where three Iberian wolves live. Along the way, the guides explain the origin of the animals and help visitors recognise tracks, signs and plants of the riverside forest.
