Today, Os Ancares also refers to a broader region that straddles the provinces of Lugo and León. The Spanish term Los Ancares Lucenses (i.e. pertaining to Lugo) is sometimes used to refer to the Galician Ancares, thus distinguishing them from Los Ancares Leoneses (i.e. pertaining to León). A range of mountains called in Galician the "Serra dos Ancares" forms the border.
