The distinctive terrain has shaped the land and its remarkable natural diversity. Among the gallery forests of ash and alder trees you may spot kingfishers, otters or even a Pyrenean desman in the highest elevations of the Jarilla or Cabezabellosa gorges.

The Gabriel y Galán Reservoir is a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA). These pristine waters and natural environment make this an ideal habitat for a variety of aquatic bird species of international importance. It is also home to ospreys, black vultures and honey buzzards, among others.

Practice birding at the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir, the winter home of the common crane. They arrive in autumn once the temperatures drop. Approximately 2,000 birds have chosen this region as a roosting site.

Fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines in the hopes of catching a barbel, carp, pike and maybe even a black bass.

You can also explore other wetlands during your visit, such as the Estanco Lagoon in Fresnedillas (Oliva de Plasencia) or the Cumbres Reservoir (Ahigal). Walk around, breathe in the fresh air, and observe birds like kites and vultures. During the winter months, when bird diversity is at its peak, you can also spot migratory species such as spoonbills, great egrets, and cranes.
