The oddity, explained

Why is Courel Mountains UNESCO Global Geopark unusual?

Courel Mountains UNESCO Global Geopark appears here because the approved source classifies it as natural world. The source describes it as The geopark is on the Camino de Santiago route, on the way to Santiago de Compostela.Several important archaeological sites, including the Castros de Viladonga, a fortified settlement that dates to the Iron Age, are well worth a visit. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural.
