Nature Watching in Spain

OBSERVING WILDLIFE AND VEGETATION

a a CABAÑEROS NATIONAL PARK CIUDAD REAL - TOLEDO

You'll find the largest herds of these animals in the Montes de Toledo, in Castile-La Mancha. There you have the Cabañeros National Park , with the largest extension of forest and scrub- land in the Mediterranean. The park it- self organises guided tours in off-road vehicles to bring you to the key rut- ting locations, and there are also ed- ucational tours as well as a route on horse-back.

Other great places for witnessing deer rutting are the Sierra de Cameros (La Rioja), the Sierra de San Pedro (Cáceres), the Boumort Nature Reserve (Lleida) and the Fuentes Carrionas y Fuente Cobre - Montaña Palentina Nature Reserve (Palencia). You'll also find large herds of this Iberian species in areas with the great- est biodiversity, like the Sierra de la Culebra, Monfragüe, Doñana and Picos de Europa.
