Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 21 de julio de 2011 (Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo, Sección 5ª, Ponente: Jorge Rodríguez-Zapata Pérez).

The Supreme Court ruling of July 21, 2011 resolves an appeal filed by the General State Administration against a judgment of the High Court of Justice of Asturias. The main issue is the scope of autonomous competences regarding natural monuments when they are located within a national park. The Supreme Court dismisses the appeal and establishes that Autonomous Communities can declare and regulate natural monuments within their territory, even if they are located in a national park. This ruling contributes to the delimitation of autonomous competences in protected natural areas. [Extracted from the article]
