El Franco is a municipality in the autonomous community of the Principality of Asturias. It is bordered on the north by the Cantabrian Sea, to the west by Tapia, to the south by Castropol and Boal, and to the east by Cuaña. El Franco is part of the comarca of Eo-Navia.

The Porcía and Mazo Rivers pass through the municipality.

History

Artifacts from the Neolithic Age indicate an early settlement of the region. The remains of hillforts are visible, in Arancedo as well as in neighbouring Coaña and Mohias. In the 18th century, the gold mines, which are still in use, were found near the embankment castle of Arancedo. During the Middle Ages, El Franco was split between the Lugo and Oviedo dioceses, and the administrative capital was in Castropol. In 1852, the administrative seat was moved to El Franco in the parish of A Caridá.

El Franco is the birthplace of Corín Tellado, one of the world's best-selling writers in the Spanish language.
