Cervantes is a municipality in the province of Lugo, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It belongs to the comarca of Os Ancares.
It had a population of 1,209 in 2023, and has an area of 277.63 square kilometres. Its highest point is Mustellar (1924 m), in the Ancares mountains.
Until the second half of the 20th century, this part of Spain was isolated. Many settlements had no road access or electricity and were cut off by snow in winter. Communities were small and self-sufficient. This way of life is shown in the small museum at Piornedo which is located in a preserved palloza.
The main economic activities in 2006 were agriculture, forestry and tourism.

What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.
Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.
Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.
Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.
Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Cervantes's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
