Spanish term

cuenca central hullera

Spanish to English Other Geography
Any idea how to translate the above. It appears in a text about the orography of the area in which Fabas Asturianas are grown.

La orografía de la zona es muy accidentada y de grandes contrastes fisiográficos.
Se pueden diferenciar, de sur a norte, cuatro unidades morfológicas: la cuenca central hullera, formada por los valles que fluyen a la cuenca de Oviedo, el surco prelitoral que constituye una depresión determinada por las fallas alpinas utilizadas por la red fluvial para labrar el valle moderno que separa la montaña interior de las alturas costeras, las serranías costeras, entre las que destaca la sierra de Cuera, y las zonas de rasas litorales, escalonadas.

Thanks in advance for your help.

central coal-bearing area

Again, erring on the side of comprehensibility. Cuenca is more than just an area, and it's normally flattish and low-lying which I don't seem to remember this area being.... But once more, as a starting point, this may have its uses!
