WHAT YOU CAN SEE
Conserved in an exceptional microclimate and integrated in the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara Natural Park , we find the last beech area in the south of Europe. The Lillas and Zarzas rivers, which rise from La Buitrera glacier, feed it. The forest grows in two valleys flanked by high and sharpened rocky crests.
The beech forest, its greater attraction, has a tale atmosphere for its coluors, the moss of the soil and the silence. In addition, Pyrenean oaks, pines, yews, hollies and birches grow here. TheBoletus Edulisgrow in its soil and its sky is ploughed through by the golden eagle over European roe deer, foxes and wild boars.
