Description

This trail runs through the areas affected by the large forest fire in 2007, currently undergoing treatment to restore the original pine forest and its undergrowth.

Among many things, you will be able to appreciate how large the fayas (Morella faya) have grown thanks to the work of the forestry services, the pink flowers of the jaras (Cistus symphytifolius) under the pine forest, and the corazoncillos (Lotus campylocladus) that have grown in abundance since the fire, blanketing the ground with yellow flowers in the open areas.

If you look carefully you might also be able to see a woodpecker at work on a trunk, blue chaffinches flitting among the branches and, with a bit of luck, even Eurasian sparrowhawks flying above the canopy of the pine trees. 

IBP Index: 2.

Tips

  • Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.  
  • Be careful when walking along roads used by motor vehicles and hiking trails, and when crossing ravines with water courses.
  • Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs. 
  • Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
