Extremadura Guide Eng 2016

At the same time, these wetlands are the favourite places of numerous migratory birds, such as the great bustards or the cranes. Therefore, most part of the regions of Miajadas- Trujillo and Montanchez-Tamuja have become ZEPA ( Spe- cial Protection Area ) with special mention to Llanos de Cáceres and Sierra de Fuentes , which even posses a Bird Recuperation centre, very didactic and with the possibility of being visited. In such a special forest of holm-oaks, three tree species declared “Singular trees of Extremadura” stand out. We re- fer to the impressive, centenary Encina Terrona , near Zarza de Montanchez; Encina la Solana or of Sebastián in Valde- fuentes and Encina la Nieta in Torre de Santa María. The presence of Roma can be found in Norba Caesarina or Turgalium , the current Cáceres and Trujillo and in some of the localities crossed by Via de la Plata , such as Casas de Don Antonio, Aldea de Cano, with abundant miliariums, bridges and even the discoveries of interesting treasures like the case of Valdesalor.
