Ecological review

Ecologically, it is a wooded island immersed in an extensive plain of grasslands and crops, hoarding on its slopes an exceptional redoubt of natural habitats that centuries ago also covered much of the plains and other mountains.

This space, recovered by the people of Cáceres in recent years, is the source and origin of life in Cáceres.

There are five minutes between the city center and the corridor that borders the Sierra de la Mosca. It goes towards the Portanchito peak, offering us just 2 kilometers of images of a fantastic Mediterranean forest. 

The predominant vegetation is holm oaks and cork oaks, which in some areas are alternated with pastures and even olive groves. In other areas, they formed dense spots of Mediterranean forest.

On the slopes of solana, olive trees, broom, gorse, chaste, coscojas, cornicabras and labiérnagos are more frequent, while those of the shaded spot, dominate the strawberry trees, durillos, cervical jaws and heather (red and white).
