CANGAS DE TINED, a town of northern Spain, in the province of Oviedo, and on the river Narcea. Pop. (193o) 21,163. There is no railway, but a road runs through Tineo, Grado and the adjacent coalfields, to the ports of Cudillero and Aviles. The inhabitants have thus an accessible market for the farm produce of the fertile surrounding hills, for the cloth and leather manu factured in the town, for the coal and lead from the neighbouring mines and for the marble quarried in the district.
