Baixa Limia - Serra do Xurés is a 209 km2 (81 sq mi) natural park in Galicia, Spain. The park was designated in 1993. Serra do Xurés is the Galician name for a range of mountains which straddle the border between Spain and Portugal: the Portuguese variant is Gerês and the Castilian variant is Xures (without the accent).
There is also a protected area on the Portuguese side of the border, the Peneda-Gerês National Park. In 2009 a transboundary biosphere reserve was designated by UNESCO which is intended to help the two countries integrate conservation measures.
Baixa Limia - Serra do Xurés is also the name of a Natura 2000 site.[2]
