But the fact is that you can also see them in nearly every village in the Trasierra-Tierras de Granadilla region. The surrounding areas are replete with cork oaks, holm oaks, and shrubs. The dehesa in spring is home to a variety of birds that will delight you with their songs. One of the best known is the black stork. In winter it is not unusual to see the common crane feeding on acorns.
