An example of environmental recovery
Where pine forest and picnic tables stand today there was once a landfill, now sealed and rewilded. Features a shelter and stone tables; a constructed fountain exists, though water flow is seasonal. Very close to the source of the Guadiela River.
Good conduct
The Natural Park provides no rubbish collection service: carry all waste back to village bins. Lighting fires is permitted solely in authorised facilities and outside high-risk fire seasons; check current regulations.
